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.

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.
