ABSTRACT:
A space battle game having a playing board with a planet located near the center of the board. Rings circle the planet at or near its equator. On opposite sides of the planet are located opposing battle base areas where each opponent places a set of battle base pieces that form each player's battle base. Located near each player's battle base area are launch pads for placement of the player's spacecraft. Each player has a designated number of spacecraft of the same design and color. The goal of the game is to destroy the opponent's battle base and spacecraft by maneuvering spacecraft to be adjacent to the opposing battle base and spacecraft. Dice are used to move the spacecraft across the board and to determine the outcome of the battles between opposing spacecraft or between a spacecraft and a battle base. The spacecraft cannot cross the planet or rings except at designated pathways that must be entered and exited on exact rolls. The spacecraft are provided with a missile for firing at a longer range and have shields to protect them from attack. The shields can be replaced after their loss by passing through designated zones on the board.
