Slipways is, to summarize, Stellaris, but minus combat and with each run taking about an hour. The core of the gameplay is exploring the chunk of space you’ve found yourself in, colonizing planets and setting up profitable trade between them, and researching new tech, is in a lot of the big strategic space games, but, between how there isn’t really anything to micro-manage and the fixed turn limit, the whole setup turns into a nice puzzle that isn’t too complicated.

I also figured I’d make this a general video games plugs thread, especially since there’s a Steam sale on currently (os so I’ve heard - I haven’t taken the time to look).
