AFTER A DEVASTATING WAR, PEACE IS DECLARED AMONG ALL THE MAJOR RACES OF THE GALAXY AND AN ALLIANCE IS CREATED. ONE OF THE FIRST DECISIONS OF THE ALLIANCE, IS TO BUILD SPACE STATIONS ALL ALONG THE GALAXY IN ORDER TO PROMOTE TRADE AMONG THE RACES, STRENGTHEN DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS AND HELP KEEP THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED PEACE. About the Game IN AMONG THE STARS, EACH PLAYER TAKES THE ROLE OF ONE OF THOSE RACES, TRYING TO BUILD THE BEST SPACE STATION. THE PLAYERS, USING A DRAFTING MECHANISM, SELECT LOCATION CARDS AND PLACE THEM ON THEIR STATION. ACCORDING TO WHERE THEY PLACE THEM THEY SCORE VICTORY POINTS. THE CONSTRUCTION LASTS 4 YEARS AND WHOEVER HAS THE MOST POINTS IN THE END WINS.
