Guardians of the Sky:
A cooperative miniature board game of interplanetary defense,
for 1 to 4 players.
Are you ready to defend your homeworld, Jorrax, and all the planets in your system?
The Tekran are already here...
Take the role of a starship captain tasked, with others, to coordinate a desperate defense against an alien invader.
All of you come from the most advanced planet in your system, Jorrax, and everyone on other planets relies on you for protection: you’re their only chance to survive the Tekran invasion.
You will be the defenders of their skies, you will guide them, under the banner of the United Planets Resistance (U.P.R.).
Help those worlds to avoid being conquered and enslaved!
Use the four actions on your turn wisely, pick from a wide range of options, mix and match or repeat them, as you see fit:
Move through space to reach your destination, Land on planets to undertake various Missions for the newly founded U.P.R., Resupply your torpedoes stock, Upgrade your ship systems using Experience Points gained from battles, Repair your hull, gather Intelligence about the enemy, Coordinate the Resistance communication channels… and Engage the enemy ships in dinamic combat, with a luck-mitigated dice-rolling system!
When a planet is encircled by a number of Tekran ships greater than its resistance value, it has fallen, and a Tekran base is created.
Tekran then gain conquest points equal to that resistance value… but you may get them back to where they started, if the base is destroyed!
Don’t let them reach too many points: if that happens, the U.P.R. will lose hope, and everything will be lost.
How can you survive against such relentless menace?
Perhaps you will never be able to properly defeat the Tekran, but you could make them change their plans. By making the system too organized, too hard to break, too expensive to conquer, they will give up on their plan of conquest, and retreat.
Fullfill important resistance missions, restore the peace on planets and get resistance points!
Hinder their plans long enough, and you will repel the invader and survive!
The Tekran are not the only threat, however: be aware of potential crises that can change the state of the board as you play, and also of some neutral forces that can reach the System.
Someone (or something) can be attracted by this ongoing war: space bandits can grow bold, you know… Or some other alien species, looking for plunder, may come for an unexpected visit!
Sneaky profiteers you have to deal with… who will also bring a lot of replayability to your table!
