Description

In BattleFleet Mars: Space Combat in the 21st Century, you're thrown into a gritty, interplanetary conflict where corporations control the flow of resources between Earth and Mars. Disgruntled employees are rising up to take control of their own destiny, and it's up to you to navigate the delicate balance between combat and politics. With a playtime of 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the game's rich, sci-fi world. As you track the relative positions of planets and manage your fleet, you'll need to make tough decisions about when to engage in ship-to-ship combat and when to focus on winning over the citizens. With a simple yet effective chart system or optional 3D space battles, the game offers a thrilling experience for fans of science fiction and wargames. With 400 counters and a grid-based movement system, BattleFleet Mars is a classic game that still holds up today, despite being first published in 1977.
