I was thinking about board games, and I wish I could remember the name of the game. but it was basically a 4x space game with four players. You started out in your corner of the galaxy and started colonizing planets and building fleets of ships. There were two types of ships, one was almost like a frigate and one was a battleship which was worth multiple frigates. The board was a star field and then on the outside of the board around all four sides was a hyperspace tract, which was the only way to travel between systems. You also got almost like a carrer that could carry your shps through hyper space.

Each player was independant, and you could make agreements for safe passage through their space or alliances.


Why did I love this game, because one day I was playing with my sisters, and I built up a huge fleet, but my one sister built up a bigger fleet, I convinced her to ally and go to war with me against my other sisters. Then I convinced her that since she had this huge fleet, that I would split off my fleet in two and use it to defend our two home systems.

So she took her whole fleet and went to war, meanwhile I split my fleet in half and hyperspaced them to her system, then I declared war on her once she was engaged in a battle and took her home system and conquored her and gained control of her fleet.

I still have the scar to this day where she hit me in the head with the fleet carrier thingy and cut me open.
