That's cool. Homeworlds is pretty deep on strategy, right? I

are my chances of actually winning a game against you if I don't

how to play? (Not really, I mean, I've read the rules and seen Andy's
Bluebird video, but I don't *really* know how to play.)
The chances of winning against a relatively experienced player if
it's your first game are pretty damn low. It's still possible for
more experienced players to make a mistake, but not likely.
So, you should play a few fast games of Homeworlds to get up to
speed, and then challenge him. Just 3 or 4 games can really help you
get a feel for the basic strategies of the game. It won't make you an
expert, but it will help a lot.
