Starship Kingdom focuses on interstellar combat between different types of starships. The game is inspired by the classic board game Risk, but here the action takes place in a cosmic arena and instead of conquering countries with armies, the player conquers stars with starships. It also differs from Risk in that there are 3 types of starships (battlecruisers, battleships and battlestars) and players are able to buy fleet upgrades and invest in starship production. Starship Kingdom offers the possibility of upgrading the player's fleet with revolutionary technologies to make it more powerful. There are 25 different maps to play on (with more to follow) and a built-in editor to create and share new maps.
