Shapeships is a free drawing battle game, where players roll dice, draw ships, use powers and fight to the death. It is easy to learn but deeply strategic, with four different species and 60 different shapeships. Primarily it is a 2 player game, though free-for-all with 3+ players and Team modes are available. -description from the designer
