Description

Dropfleet Commander is a thrilling orbital combat game that drops you into the midst of a sci-fi battle above a planet's surface. With a typical gaming table spanning 4'x4', you'll be navigating a large area, roughly the size of a European country or US state, as you engage in intense space warfare. The game's unique mechanics, such as variable player powers and dice rolling, add a layer of complexity and excitement to each battle. As you command your fleet, you'll need to consider the power of your ship's scanners, the enemy ship's signature, and their actions, as these can all impact the effectiveness of your attacks and defenses. In Dropfleet Commander, stealth and strategy are key to success, as the range of your weapons can change depending on various factors, and firing multiple weapons can increase your ship's signature, making it an easier target. With support for 2 to 4 players and a playtime of 90 to 150 minutes, this game is perfect for a fun and challenging evening with friends. The normal complexity of the game rules makes it accessible to those familiar with board games, and the rich sci-fi setting, complete with miniatures and a detailed game world, will draw you in and keep you engaged. Whether you're a fan of wargames or just looking for a new and exciting gaming experience, Dropfleet Commander is sure to deliver.
