Microgame #21 in the Metagaming Microgames series is a wargame module meant to be the character-combat engine for a "Starleader" RPG that was never produced. It concerns combat in the "30th century of the Space Era (SE)" between defenders and attackers aboard a "Kyrathan 'Royal' class warp yacht" named (conveniently enough) the "Trek Heaven." It's a...

On your turn, you roll two dice, and can use each die to move a different ship --you have the option of moving only one. Some of the orbit spaces are obstacles and cannot be occupied. You...
Starmada is a simple (but not simplistic) Tactical level board-wargame of starship combat, in which players square off in a general attempt to blast each other's fleets into just so much space junk.
