Ultra Marines (1991)

About this game

The Imperial Space Marine Scouts stalk through the dark and menacing corridors of the alien space hulk. They must bring back vital information to the Imperial Commanders waiting to launch the final assault. The Scouts rely on their sharpened instincts to keep them alive. They have no time to ask for names or identification. If they hesitate, they are lost. In the depths of the space hulk there are no friends other than the five battle brothers that make up their squad. Ultra Marines is a game for 2-4 players that pits Space Marine squads head-to-head in a race to collect the most alien artifacts from within old and ruined alien crafts.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
