first there is a main menu , where you select a "new game" button and then select a "saveslot".
after this there is a loading screen and a "generate new galaxy" screen.
then the game starts , you can see 10 star system on a map. you can play the tutorial which contains a lot of text popups.
after the tutorial you itterate from the galaxy map to a close up window of the individual stars which contains a description and statistics and the big events - the big events contain a long description text and 3 options to choose from with also quite some text
during the game you also collect so called flares - each flare opens a small popup with a little text descripting what happens during that turn in this civilization. You collect around 5 flares before a new big event screen is opened again.
thats the main gameplay
