From BoardGameGeek

It is the far future. Newly emergent spacefaring factions have outgrown their star systems. Now, these galactic powers have an eye on new worlds and the acquisition of star systems to expand their civilizations. Among these systems are the coveted Solarion planets that provide an energy source 1,000 times more powerful than anything before. These rising stellar empires will come into conflict as they vie to secure their interstellar conquest. To accomplish this, players will use their empires' technology and strategies to produce resources, position fleet, attack, and establish presence. Players win by accumulating Victory Points (VP) from buying cards, archiving cards, occupying planets, controlling sectors, and seizing scoring opportunities across three Galactic Phases. The player with the most VP at the end of the game becomes the new supreme overlord of the galaxy. Solarion: Foundations of Empires is a 1-4 player 4x deck builder with a dynamic card market and a streamlined ruleset. It rewards efficiency, punishes turtling, and players are never eliminated.
