Kickstarter page:Kickstarter page wrote: Deep Space is a 2-4 player strategy game built on a unique platform. Each Player controls a colored faction, and are pitted against each other in a race to control the most planets on the board. It's a turn based game - players roll dice to move their ships, play cards, and launch attacks in order to secure planets as their own. You can find a prototype version of our rules HERE. Keep in mind, these aren't the completed graphically designed rule booklets, we just want to give backers and idea of how the game play works.
There are many different and exciting game play elements involved. Some players may choose to take an offensive route by attacking with battleships. Other players may choose to take a defensive route and try to capture planets as quickly as possible. Some players can even use guerrilla tactics and self destruct themselves to try and disrupt an opponents strategy.
Deep Space contains many elements to keep game play fresh, and replay value high:
"Tactical" cards that players can play against each other
"Deep Space" cards that cause negative effects on players and their strategy
3 types of ships, each with their own unique purpose and abilities
Red game spaces that show where a player cannot move through, or land on
Warp-Gates that allow players to warp across the map to another gate of the same color.
