Galactic Reign (Free) - Outwitters' Windows Counterpart?

RE: Galactic Reign (Free) - Outwitters' Windows Counterpart?
Still only on turn 5 of my first game, but so far I am enjoying it. Very different from Outwitters, however. Not at all the same thing.

You have resource collection from your colonized planets, which is nice. Both players choose their actions for each turn simultaneously and then once both players submit their turns, the game progresses. Not so much looking at what your opponent did for his turn and then reacting, but rather trying to guess what your opponent will do on the current turn and choosing appropriate countermeasures. It's like a much more robust version of the basic Rock, Paper, Scissors mechanic. You are limited to four fleets at a time, but your individual fleets can apparently grow arbitrarily large. The battle calculation and rendering seems interesting.

I like it. I think I'll keep it and play it some more.

If you don't get my jokes, it's because of Postmodernism.
