Starclash

2026·Ryan K Williams

From BoardGameGeek

Starclash is a base-building battle board game. Delve into a lore-rich planetary conflict where you are Commander in your faction's fight to merely exist in a galaxy with few livable planets and many formidable factions vying to carve out a swathe of territory by which they may survive. Play competitively or in 1-2 player co-op scenarios! Brimming with asymmetry, play as one of four factions. You must collect resources to create structures and units so you can command your forces and conquer your enemy! The Starclash gameplay experience is very rich, but it boils down to the 3 C's each turn: Collect Biosteel for constructing units and structures. Gather energy to power skills and upgrades. Command your units. Units can move, build, attack, and use powerful abilities. Conclude your turn as you watch your buildings complete construction…and await your adversary's attack. Deep on your side of the various maps offered is your base. Balance your offensive strikes with your defensive efforts because you win if you destroy your opponents' base but lose if yours is destroyed! Be mindful to keep the area majority with your units in Mainframe areas to acquire precious Data at the end of each round! The first player to gather 6 Data points wins! -description from the designer
