Description

Forlorn: Hope is a game of intense tactical combat set in a science fiction universe, where a squad of human Space Marines must fight for survival against a relentless horde of alien Xenos on a claustrophobic space station. With easy-to-learn rules, this game is accessible to new players, but don't let that fool you - the gameplay is tight, tense, and gripping. As the Marine player, you'll have to strategically utilize your limited Action Points to command your squad and complete your desperate mission, hoping that luck and a timely rush of adrenaline will help you emerge victorious with at least a few survivors. The game's design, crafted by Chris Taylor, allows for solo or two-player gameplay, making it a great option for those looking for a thrilling experience with a friend or a challenging solo adventure. With two shipboard maps to explore and a playtime of just 40 minutes, Forlorn: Hope is a quick and exciting game that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will you be able to lead the Forlorn Squad to victory, or will the Xenos prove too numerous to stop? Published in 2010, this base game has been thrilling players for years, and its unique blend of Action Points and Grid Movement mechanics makes it a must-play for fans of fighting and science fiction games.
