Description:

Takamo is a strategic science fiction play-by-e-mail game of exploration
and expansion in a galaxy of tens of thousands of starsystems and planets.
Each galaxy can hold up to a thousand players and thousands of computer
run worlds that are part of over a hundred different interstellar empires.
Computer artificial intelligence routines ensure active play regardless of
whether the alien empire you encounter is run by a person or a computer.
Players choose one of eight different player empire types to include
Independent Civilization Builders, Miners, Cyborgs, Pirates, Smugglers,
Nomads, and Interstellar Corporations.

Takamo is an open ended game that is turn based and runs once each week.
Players can submit their turns via a graphic user interface which they
download from the website or they may use the turn interface residing on
the Takamo web site at www.takamo.com. All turns are processed on the turn
deadline date with results sent via e-mail on the same day.

Turn fees are $9.99 for initial setup and a $19.99 per month subscription
fee. The game is currently english only.
