Dick, Gene Roddenberry, from <strong>knowledge<\/strong> about what will be possible in science and from the study of what It can be improved with modern mechanics in <strong>classic strategy games<\/strong> like \u201cRisk\u201d and \u201cStratego\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It aims to provide the <strong>feeling of expansion and conquest<\/strong> of other worlds in the first person, using the minimum elements, rules, and possible time, maintaining until the end the possibility that anyone can be a winner.<\/p>\n<p>It helps to <strong>develop mental calculation skills<\/strong>, to make decisions based on intuition, and to share and repeat games with whom you have so much trouble convincing &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This game has been an annoyance, hard-work, and effort of so many, but so many people, that I cannot help but thank, despite the restraining order requested by all of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To <strong>my family<\/strong>, especially Ian and Pati, who have suffered so many versions to test. The special three-player turn-based mode is of his kind. To other martyrs of the test like Mateo, Mariajo and Quique, to the cousins-nephews of Seville and Arroyomolinos. To my parents who have facilitated some promotional and testing trips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Friends<\/strong> who have lent themselves and have even lent their families and homes, without even being regular gamers. Charli and family, Luis and family, Chema and family, Helge and family, \u00c1ngel, V\u00edctor (who gave me the idea of \u200b\u200ba future version in letters that perhaps one day you will see), &#8230;<\/li>\n<li>To <strong>LUDO<\/strong> and his people, especially Julio Romacho&#8217;s torch, with whom I am learning so much and personally enjoying myself.<\/li>\n<li>To <strong>Jos\u00e9 Antonio<\/strong> <strong>Melguizo<\/strong> y <strong>Ver\u00f3nica N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/strong>, who successfully pushed me to the fairs in half of Spain.<\/li>\n<li>To <strong>Enrique Pla<\/strong> for his patient testing of the latest versions, and his contributions in special modes and to <strong>Xuan Nacher<\/strong> for his contribution to the new shift system.<\/li>\n<li>To <strong>Luis \u00c1lvaro Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>, for trusting me and my work.
