I am a fan of turn-based, multi-player strategy space-themed war games. I am not a fan of real-time games mostly because I ike to mull my decisions, and it is difficult to get everyone together at the same time.

Currently I play the aging, but still great Space Empires IV. This game has some great features including being very mod-able, and great depth and variety of game play). There are some other old but great space-themed, turned-based strategy games (e.g. Master of Orion), but most of these either had no multi-player, or required everyone to be playing on the same computer.

Anyone on Soylent play a great turn-based strategy games which is space-themed, of which I might not be aware?

    But to last that long, it must be a good game. Re-read my comment and it sounded harsh, and I had meant it as funny.

    I know this old geezer, (we graduated from high school together) who still played chess by mail up to about 2002/3.
    His biggest technical leap was moving to Email. He still used a room full of (small) physical chess boards till a couple years later we found a program for him that would keep them all in his computer. (he would print each board, and tape it to the wall).

    We (his kids an I) suggested to him that he could do all this on a smartphone or a tablet app, but we were escorted off of his lawn.

    Started playing it in the late 70's, played maybe 15 years before life took over. Ran across the company about a year ago and decided to try another game. It's still fun. Completely different from computer games and boardgames.
