Instructions

THE OBJECT OF THIS GAME IS TO CONTROL
MORE PLANETS BY THE END OF THE GAME THAN
ANY OF YOUR OPPONENTS.  TO DO THIS, YOU
SEND OUT FLEETS OF SHIPS TO OTHER STARS
(EACH OF WHICH HAS 1 HABITABLE, AND
PERHAPS OCCUPIED, PLANET).  YOUR HOME
WORLD HAS AN INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY OF 10
SHIPS PER YEAR.  THE WORLDS YOU ATTACK
MAY HAVE INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY AND SHIPS
ON DEFENSE.

ORDERS FOR LAUNCHING FLEETS REQUIRE 3
PIECES OF DATA :
 1. PLANET OF ORIGIN (BY CODE)
 2. DESTINATION
 3. # OF SHIPS IN FLEET
YOUR FLEET ORDERS WILL BE INVISIBLE AS
YOU ENTER THEM TO PROTECT YOUR SECRECY.
PRESS ENTER WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED

ENTERING ORDERS.  FOR HELP, TYPE A '?'.

FLEETS TRAVEL AT A SPEED OF 3 PER YEAR
(1 TURN=1 YEAR) AFTER ONE ACCELERATION
YEAR IN WHICH THEY MOVE ONLY 2.
SEPARATE FLEETS ATTACK SEPARATELY, EVEN
IF THEY ARRIVE AT THE SAME WORLD IN THE
SAME YEAR.  ONCE A FLEET HAS BEEN
LAUNCHED, ITS ORDERS CANNOT BE CHANGED.
PLAYERS WILL MOVE IN A RANDOM ORDER EACH
TURN.

TO PLAY SOLITAIRE, MAKE THE NUMBER OF
YEARS EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF WORLDS.
TO WIN, YOU MUST CONTROL ALL PLANETS BY
THE END OF THE GAME.

                              GOOD LUCK
