If you're the type of autist that likes strategy wargames you should like it, it's not only just building armies, you also control characters from the og trilogy and the expanded universe with different stats, which can be sent to a variety of missions. You pick the Alliance or the Empire, each with slightly different goals and starting resources, and you start not knowing what the ai opponent controls, so you start by using espionage and reconnaissance to see whether unexplored systems belong to it or not, then you build your fleets and recruit characters to expand your influence through force or politics until you meet your faction's victory conditions.
The board game is good too, although simplified for obvious reasons, but you need a second autist to play against.
