Stargrunt

Could somebody give me a review of Stargrunt?  I would especially 
like to know a brief summary of how the game mechanics work.

Thanks,

John

Somewhere in the world there is defeat for everyone.  Some are 
destroyed by defeat, and some made small and mean by victory.  
Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat and victory.
