How to play Space Empires: 4X

Space Empires: 4X has players explore a hex map, move fleets with movement points, gain income, and secretly deploy units while expanding and fighting rivals. Dice, auctions, and bluffing add uncertainty to a long strategic space war that plays in 180 minutes with 1 to 4 players. It suits players aged 12 and up who want a detailed conflict game with planning, hidden information, and direct competition.
