Turn desolate planets into a vast trade empire. Hatch plans. Research game-breaking technologies. Still be done in time for lunch. Enjoy the endless possibilities of a space grand strategy game in 60 minutes flat. Slipways takes the space grand strategy genre and condenses the best parts of it down by throwing away all the micromanagement and the steep learning curve. The result is a game in which you can finish a run quickly, but still have a deep experience full of important decisions. Forget about tedious micromanagement and spending time waiting for ships to build. In Slipways, every action you take has immediate consequences, and every choice you make is of paramount importance. Your planets govern themselves while you focus on making the right decisions to get them what they need. You'll waste none of your precious time on busywork - a single run takes 40-60 minutes and they are all filled with the good stuff. Read less

I haven't played this game in a bit, but if you like any 4X type games (Civilization/Stellaris), this game has a simpler concept but still so complex. It's just a very fun and addictive strategy game. I picked it up on Epic Games with a $10 coupon and don't regret it at all. The best way I can describe it is the feeling you get when you're playing something like a Sudoku and you know you're on the cusp of figuring out a number that goes "here" but you've first got to find out the number that goes "there," oh and that leads you back to the number that should be "in that other spot" as well! Then it starts all coming together and you feel like a genius, until you expand a bit and now you've got another type of puzzle to solve.. What resource should I make this planet trade in so I can connect it to a few other planets that need that resource? 20 minutes can turn into an hour and a half easily.
