Renegade Legion: Interceptor (1987)

About this game

Renegade Legion: Interceptor is a space battle game played on a large hex map and features unique playing pieces that are space ships made "3d" by being printed on little 1" cardboard boxes. Players can choose from a variety of ships each of which have their pros and cons, and ships fight it out with "standard" battle systems that include thrust movement, targeting, and variable weapons damage. FASA also attempted to include some optional role-playing aspects into the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 3.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
