Warcosm: Victory in the Stars!

This easy-to-learn and quick-paced tabletop game simulates fleet-based space battles using either miniatures or flat counters. Mix tactics with starship prototype design to outwit your enemy. Maneuver the enemy so that you can bring more weapons to bear on them. Find an enemy craft’s weaknesses to maximize the effectiveness of your attacks. Warcosm's game mechanics encourage tactics without the overwhelming burden of excessive rules, allowing players to control six, ten, or even a few dozen ships for scalable battles.

Once you get the hang of the rules with the included battle scenarios, use the ship construction rules to build your own fleets. Decide how to arm your ships, the degree and types of hull protection, the power of drive systems, and whether or not to equip them with a number of other subsystems. The fate of the galaxy is in your hands. Command your fleets and lead them to Victory in the Stars.
