I would suggest watching a let's play video. You can find a ton of them on YouTube. You might also check out this review: https://explorminate.net/2016/08/25/master-of-orion-conquer-the-star-review/
To give a broad description, this is a 4X game, which is a type of turn based strategy game. You choose your race, your galaxy, and your opponents, and then starting with just a couple ships and your home world you eXplore the galaxy, eXpand to new planets, eXploit their resources, and eventually eXterminate your opponents (there are other ways to win too). This game is designed to be a good introduction to people not familiar with 4x games but doesn't contain as much as the strategic depth as some hardcore 4x players demand. The game has only just come out, and it is arguably pretty good, but not great. As development of features continue, we're hoping it will improve significantly to be as great as the first two games in the Master of Orion series (released long ago). In my humble opinion, the standard edition ($30) is worth it, but the collector's edition ($50, comes with an art book, soundtrack, extra race, and the first three master of orion games) is not worth the extra $20, but others may disagree.
It is available for mac, but you do need a fairly modern computer to run the game effectively. You can check out the minimum and recommended specs here: http://masteroforion.com/editions
