Mayhem Intergalactic is a game with simple rules giving rise to rich strategy. Each session lasts only 5-15 minutes, yet there is enough depth and replayability to keep you occupied for hours at a time. In a nutshell, it's a turn-based 4X-like strategy game, providing a streamlined version of the gameplay found in other turn-based strategy games. There is no resource micromanagement, allowing you to concentrate on strategy and tactics instead. Also, there's an alien wearing a monocle.

Battles based more on luck? No thx.
A bit off topic but:
That was the problem in Galatic Civilization Space Battles where the first shooter makes the most impact. That is you could create a lot of small space ships with strong weapons and fast engines. Otherwise you just pray you will win or lose quite low.
At least in Heroes Of Might & Magic you had control and luck had low impact even though it was not space based TBS. Master Of Orion too but the luck had more impact.
