Starcrashers Board Game

Rules Sci Fi

Starcrashers is a simple tabletop game of space exploration and combat. The author writes:

Star Crashers is a friendly game for 2-4 players, ages 8 and up.  Each turn, players move their spacecraft around the table, exploring by flipping over Blip Counters that could be Space Pirates, Gravity Mines, Derelict Ships, and stranger things!  When a player successfully deals with an encounter, they collect Credits as specified in the encounter.  Once all the Blip Counters have been revealed and dealt with, the game is over- the player with the most credits wins.  You can also try playing teams, pairing up with another player and combining your credits to see which team can earn the most!

Stingray Underwater Combat Rules

Rules NavalRules Sci Fi

Stingray is a set of free wargames rules for playing games based on the television series of the same name. The authors write:

These rules are an attempt to simulate the undersea combat portrayed in the 1960’s TV series Stingray.

It tries to be true to the original, and we have resisted (as far as possible given the requirements of game design) the urge to embellish the original too much.

The rules are divided up into three parts, The General Rules, the Titan Terror Fish Rules and the Stingray Rules.

These can be divided up between player teams as appropriate (see below). It is recommended that players who use these rules regularly stick to one or other of the protagonists on a permanent basis.

This will encourage greater identification with the cultural and technological characteristics of the two sides.

Alpha Destructicus Car Wars Game

Rules Sci Fi

From the author:

Alpha Destructicus is a racing game of futuristic destruction derby with tanks, trucks, dinosaurs, ramps, and machine guns.

When I was growing up, I played Car Wars incessantly. It was my favorite game for a long time. Later, I became a serious Warhammer 40k enthusiast. It was when I was running a short demonstration of Warhammer 40k for some other gaming friends that I decided to combine the elements I liked best from both games into a game of my own. Alpha Destructicus was the result.

Alpha Destructicus is a fast, frenetic game of vehicle racing and combat with lots of explosions and spectacular pileups.

About the Miniature Wargaming Hobby

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.

The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.

Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.

For pictures, visit the gallery.

Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
