Reach for the Stars is a turn-based adventure/combat that has its roots in the science fiction world of galactic exploration, colonization and conquest. Four players (empires) participate in each game of Reach for the Stars with the computer filling in for human opponents when needed. Gameplay revolves around seeking out and exploring new star systems, colonizing planets and then producing resources which are managed and distributed to various enterprises such as military defense, growth in industry and population concerns. The game system utilizes an approach based on movement and production turns and a hex-type environment. A short tutorial is also provided in the manual for those who need a jump start and the game ends when one of the four empires has completely eliminated the other three in the star-field of combat.
