Description

A miniatures focused wargame with simple rules for space opera style armada versus armada combat, for any number of players. The game emphasizes and promotes players to make their own miniatures to represent their armadas, using any material they have available at any skill level.

Players start the game by allocating a number of unit points to create an armada compliment to battle with. Each player has the same unit value. Players take turns making actions with up to 5 ships of their ship, and an additional 2 with a special rule. They roll multiple six-sided dice to determine if ships become damaged. Once a ship takes 4 damage tokens it is destroyed. The game is played until one person surrenders or all of their units are destroyed.

The game is distributed as a book with no components, and players are encouraged to source pieces from gaming shops. Simple Space Ship is played on a field of any size, any foregoes all movement measurement mechanics. Players are free to move their units to any position they choose, simulating very fast moving spacecraft.

The book contains the rules of play, as well as a chart which tracks play over multiple gameplay sessions through it's legacy mechanic.
