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?

    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.

    No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
