+  3 7  - Overview
+
+      Galactic Empires is a game of intergalactic imperialism.  The galaxy is a
+      20x20 grid containing 45 planets.  Each player starts with one home world that
+      produces 10 ships per turn.  Each turn you can launch fleets of one or more
+      ships to other planets.  Each fleet moves a distance of two spaces the first
+      turn and three every turn thereafter until reaching their destination.  It
+      takes 10 turns to go from corner to corner.  If there are ships defending the
+      planet, a battle ensues until one side or the other is destroyed.  Once a fleet
+      is launched, it can not be recalled from or contacted in hyperspace.
+
+      Each game has between 4 and 9 players.  The game progresses until only one
+      player remains.  This can take anywhere from 30 turns to 300 (or more).  You
+      will not know who your opponents are until after the game starts.  You will not
+      be able to leave a game (without being conquered) before the 15th turn.
