1–2 players · 20 min · 10+

Raise Shields is a ultra-lite micro wargame that emulates space themed ship-to-ship battles as made famous in science fiction television shows, books, and movies.

At its core, the rules for Raise Shields are based upon the previously released Micro Wargame Pirate Sails. However, this rendition of the rules includes options for customizing your own spaceship for use in play as well as some simple options for campaign play.

A micro wargame is an easy to learn, fast to play, and inexpensive game for fans of wargaming who may not have enough time for a full-blown kitchen table spanning battle. A micro wargame can be played over a lunch break, on a train, on a plane, or just in the comfort of your own home when you have a free minute. Includes rules, 1-2 playing maps, and one sheet of counters.
