The Sword and the Stars is a 1981 board game published by Simulations Publications, Inc.
The Sword and the Stars is a game that portrays empire building among the stars.[1]
Brian McCue reviewed The Sword and the Stars in The Space Gamer No. 43.[1] McCue commented that "I'd recommend The Sword and the Stars to any die-hard Empires of the Middle Ages player, to anybody who wants a less expensive alternative for that game, and to people who play SF but not historical games. The game system is great; only the historical appeal of the older game is lacking."[1]
