Description

Get ready for a thrilling space conflict with Berserker, a tactical board game based on the novels and stories by Fred Saberhagen. In this easy-to-learn game, you'll join the human struggle for survival against the fearsome robotic dreadnoughts known as Berserkers, which are racing towards Earth with the goal of destroying the birthplace of mankind. As a player, you'll be part of a hastily gathered force of human ships, including cruisers and C-plus guns, which will batter the Berserkers from afar, while Earth's only hope, the ram ships, swarm like killer bees to take down the enemy. In this 90-minute game for 2 players, you'll experience the excitement of dice rolling, grid movement, and simulation, all set on a hexagon grid. With optional rules covering Earth Shadow, Veterans, Prisoners, and a lengthy campaign game, you can add more complexity and depth to the game as you become more comfortable with the rules. Designed by Michael Stackpole, Rick Loomis, and Fred Saberhagen, and first published in 1982, Berserker is a classic science fiction wargame that's still fun and engaging today. Whether you're a fan of the novels or just looking for a fun and thrilling game, Berserker is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and challenging experience.
