Space Station Assault (2004)

About this game

From the publisher, Your Move Games: Both players have identical decks representing a fleet of ships and a space station with four stats: Speed, Firepower, Shields and Victory. The goal is simple – destroy sixty Victory points worth of the enemy fleet, which can mean either the enemy space station or a large number of ships. It’s quick to learn and quick to play, but has a lot of strategic depth and replay value for a game in its price range.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
