In the thirty-first century, the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere are still at war, and mercenary commands are thriving. These commands live and die by their reputation and the almighty C-bill, taking on tough missions that the Successor States can't or won't handle themselves. As a mercenary commander in Encounters: BattleTech, you'll take on contracts for the Great Houses, using a combination of dice rolling and card play to defeat enemies and earn the C-bills you need to keep your unit afloat. With easy-to-learn rules and a fast-paced gameplay, Encounters: BattleTech is a fun and exciting game for 1 to 8 players. You'll need to push your luck and make strategic decisions to complete your contracts and gain the reputation you seek. With the help of contracts, dice rolling, and other game mechanics, you'll be fully immersed in the world of BattleTech. Published in 2024 by designers Brian Knudson and James Kirtley, Encounters: BattleTech is a great addition to any science fiction fan's game collection, offering a unique blend of card game and dice game elements that's sure to keep you coming back for more.
