About this game

The fourth edition of the Starfire game system. GALACTIC STARFIRE is a complete revision of Starfire to make a tremendous number of advances in the tactical and campaign systems. While the tactical battles remain relatively unchanged, the major advancement in 4th edition is in the campaign system." "STARFIRE is a game of tactical starship combat, focusing on fleet level combat with multiple ships. CAMPAIGN STARFIRE are rules that add an empire building campaign system to the game for long-term strategic game play. GALACTIC STARFIRE includes rules (2 96-page books) to both of these game levels, 4 brand-new counter sheets, and a large hexagon 'system' map." Re-implements: Starfire (3rd Edition)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 4.2/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
