TF22: LOAD! (2012)

About this game

In the 22nd century, White Ranium from the faraway Panajay system has become one of the most important resources for mankind. The material is an absolutely essential catalyst for many new innovative production processes. In this pre-TF22 setting, long before the actual cargovessels leave for planet GH-328, both players are captains competing to optimize the loading of Robot Combat Units (RCU‘s) on their respective spaceships. These RCU’s are intended to assure the future protection of the Mineral Collecting Units (MCU‘s) on GH-328. The aim of the game is to maximise the loading of RCU containers on your spaceship in order to maintain container majorities and by doing so score the most points at the end of the 3 gamerounds.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
