Description

Starlord is a simple yet strategic game set in a science fiction universe, where two players compete to capture each other's home star. The game is easy to learn, with rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to new players. On each turn, players roll two dice, which determine how they can move their ships around the board, trying to outmaneuver their opponent and eliminate their ships from orbit. With its unique blend of area movement, dice rolling, and set collection mechanics, Starlord offers a fun and challenging experience. Players can use hyper-jump spaces to connect orbits and planet spaces to collect resource cards, which can be used to build new starships. The game is relatively short, lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, making it a great option for a quick gaming session. First published in 1977, Starlord has stood the test of time, offering a classic science fiction gaming experience.
