Selection nastolok about space and review their mechanic
Take off all: it pleases sup>
Zerglings, by the way, a pair of one yunite sup>
For three years we dream to make a play on the principles of "elites». B> Only the board. Unfortunately, all this time we were not able to develop or find a mechanic lucky enough to transmit the atmosphere and the world, and at the same time quite interesting for those who do not remember even "parkan" or "Vangerov."
But let's start from the beginning. I will show you the available board games about space and tell you what each feature mechanics. Please note, they are quite successfully transferred from the PC to the paper (MOO, Starcraft) and vice versa (Eclipse). And I'll tell you where the next day they can play with other geeks marking Cosmonautics Day with the same joy as we are. Come, little geeks, and meet in real life we rarely. Need a reason - and it is.
Starcraft h4>
Perhaps the most famous example transcriptions, desktop computer games. Enjoyed wild popularity in the East - there love to collect figures, and their huge box in the very, very much. The game is a level of global strategy not a tactic, as in the original PC-strategy and logistics management fronts on different planets. The properties of units stored in the cards, and base on the planet reduced to 3-4 buildings.

Space Truckers h4>
This is our location, we are releasing the past Cosmonautics Day. Wonderful thing that just get on pre-order in Europe. Somewhat tricky for the domestic market. The game consists of two parts - the assembly of the modules of the ship in real time (this part blew nastolok market - with real time, few people ventured to work normally done everything moves), and then you are trying to fly on his hand-made article not regulated through polgalaktiki. By the way there are pirates, adventure, loads, and other interesting objects of the cosmos. Here topic reviewing the "truck."
Pilots and very militant alien. A gun is about to fall off the cab now on the rise due to improper Connection. Sup>
Hyper-6 h4>
Extremely simple and compact abstract tactics about space. The plot - you need to throw the fleet on the other end of the galaxy for a decisive battle. You and your opponents move a group of ships to the black hole to be used for jumping. Who will reach the first - wins. Chips ships - a dice with different numbers of faces. The game uses them as chips, and as random number generators (after the jump should throw the dice - relativistic velocity varies randomly), and the variables (on the cube's current speed of the ship, and by turning the cube one space, you can change it). Strategy games - in the use of their own and other ships as mass anchors for giperpryzhkov converging on orbit.
Bandana with the field - fucking decision sup>
Space Alert h4>
A very specific and complicated, very for geeks. Clearly requires load commands: You can easily lose a learning game. Author - the same as in "Space Truckers", and is also used by mechanics real time. Essence - You play as a member of the crew of the cruiser. Intercom constantly transmitted messages on the approximation of the enemy, the state of the reactor and so on. The task - to work in a team for a limited time, so that will survive. Unlike other team games, there's no time to dogovorki and leadership of one of the players - just take and do what you think is right. Did not work - catch kinetic projectile. Very similar to what might look like table FTL, parallelized on team members.
Your ship sup>
In the extended edition of the game uses another fine mechanics - box supplied with the disc with the sounds of the intercom, you already do not look at a piece of paper with the script, and directly listen to what is happening.
«Twilight Empire» h4>
This game is right on the Master of Orion, but the owners could not agree about the use of the universe, so names of races and technologies change. The rest - the same good old MoO II, only in paper. The game is particularly notable for the 9-hour parties (Version III - 4-5 hours), a huge box and a very cool system of diplomacy.
Beginner to finish the game? Sup>
Eclipse h4>
Another ambitious strategy about space. Quite popular in the West, the game took the best from the "Twilight", but the party is shorter, and the rules - are available. It is worth noting that the cosmos is more modular - all in all, probably something similar and you want to use for the game on the "elite", but it's unclear exactly how. Probably - add a piece of the field at the opening of the new region. Like many successful nastolki, Eclipse has been transferred to the application: In iOS appstore accurately.
Septikon h4>
If you love hardcore domestic and science fiction, this is definitely the best choice. The story is this - after my very old post Habré about the development of board games we were approached by a lot of authors with ideas. We organized a Toy authors - 60 people came from across the country came from almost all the domestic publishing houses. And "Septikon" found a publisher.
In the game you control their autonomous station on the planetoid - and try to destroy the station opponent. In the box - a good tactic, fucking crafted world and interesting art. Read the rules - is an aesthetic pleasure. They, incidentally, is here here .
More games h4>
I want to mention "Space Pirates". Compared to other games - pretty simple simulator trading. If you have, for example, Eve is a character-trader for well protected systems - that emotions are about the same as in the game for him. Plus there's a parody of "Star Munchkin" card tactic «Race for the Galaxy», large «Battlestar Galactica» simple and almost child's play "Perry Rodan."
Play h4>
For almost all of these games require sophisticated friends who have no experience of any game. I therefore invite the residents of Moscow for the tournament to the Cosmonautics Day on "Space Truckers».
Details In this Sunday in "Cuckoo", begins to teach at 14:00, tournament starts at 15:00. Enough to read the rules to play after the first batch along with all. Games room and free tournament, but the restaurant needs a deposit of 300 rubles - this amount is deducted from your account then. Location - Rozhdestvenka 06/09/20 Building 1, metro Kuznetsk bridge, here meeting VC). Tournament goes in 3 games with the size of the ship, a simplified analogue Swiss winners - prizes.
P.S. And the residents of other cities may get a chance to meet and negotiate with other habrovchanami in any cafe for nastolki.
Once again, a Happy!
And yes, if you have ideas of how to implement the "elite" in the board game - do not be silent)
