Galaxy is a closed ended space combat strategy wargame. Galaxy PBW is
a web based Galaxy implementation (consisting both of the client and
the server) on-line since 1996. In order to play Galaxy PBW only web
browser with Java support is necessary. No files are stored on
player's hard drive making it easy to play when you are on leave.

Typical Galaxy game (at 3 turns per week) takes from a few months to
half a year to complete. It is very much suitable for busy people
because to prepare commands for a single turn takes from 15 to 30
minutes. But be warned that because the game situation is very simple
to hold in memory -- you'll think about your next turn not only in
front of your PC, but in a public transport, during the coffee breaks,
in queues...

Welcome to the world of strategy and diplomacy !

With the best regards,
