Play Overview
You play as either as the galactic ruler's Imperium of Earth or the rebel group The Uprising, aiming to destroy all of your opponent's ships. You start with a fleet of 2D plastic Ships that can be flicked across the playing area in order to get them in position for an attack. Once there, you flick dice at your opponent's ships. Strike them and your dice roll deals damage, miss, and expose yourself to counter-attack.
As you progress, you encounter ships with different abilities and must adjust your tactics. The larger the ship, the more complex its weapon systems and the more difficult it is to destroy. The smaller ships are more vulnerable but more manoeuvrable.
It's a game that is both tactile and strategic. The taking aim and flicking element of the game is a real joy. Add to that the huge array of different spaceships, upgrades and systems and this becomes an epic campaign that fires both the brain and the imagination.
Play Style
Duration
The first time you play, it's worth trying the following:
- Play a game where one dice hit destroys a ship so that you have time to practise the flicking method.
Play Time: This game will take between 10 minutes and half an hour to complete. Duration depends on the pieces that you choose to use and the scenario that you set up, but the base game takes around 20 minutes to play.
