Outreach

[Insert from the back of the flat-pack]

Outreach is a Grand Strategic simulation of intra-Galactic conflict. The scale of the game is genuinely huge. The 23" by 35" map depicts an area some 28,000 light years by 50,000 light years, including about one-third of the Galaxy. Each 19mm hex measures some 1200 light years across.

Outreach is concerned with a period of vast, explosive expansion by an ambitious, dynamic civilization. Each hex on the map is color coded to indicate the relative star density. The Player is charged with the task of guiding the destiny of a Civilization. At the start of the basic scenario, only a few thousand light years have been explored and settled, but the capacity for long-range telesthetic inter-stellar shifts has been developed.

StarFleet units represent not merely particular interstellar vessels, but a concomitant commitment of resources, mainly in terms of time, effort and people (“beings”). In general, the object of the Player is to raise his “Civilization Level” to the highest in the Galaxy. This is an object which can only be pursued Indirectly- by expanding one's economic base, access to resources, and population, to take a positive view, or by interfering with the progress of other striving civilizations toward that goal.

The Outreach game system accommodates from one to four Players.

Part of the StarForce Trilogy box set, along with StarForce and StarSoldier.
