Starship Shootouts
About this game
A tactical science fiction ship combat game played on a hex map. Fleets are created by allocating build points and designing ships. Different races have unique weapons and other characteristics. The entire game comes in a 3" x 5" ziplock bag. The rule book is 2.5" x 3.5" and has 30 pages. A folded hex map (8" x 9") with tiny 1/4" hexes is included and has ship templates for all 6 races on the opposite side. Includes two d6 dice, each 0.50cm on a side. Originally costing $1, this may be the smallest wargame ever produced!
