How to play Starship Troopers
In this 1 to 2 player wargame, players move forces across a hex map, spend movement points, use line of sight, and resolve attacks with dice and combat tables. One side can secretly lay out underground positions while the other searches them out, giving the scenarios a tense, methodical feel. It suits players aged 12 and up who want a two-hour science-fiction conflict game with solo play and campaign-style missions.
