Why It's On The List

• a two-player wargame with elements of tower defense, resource management, and lots & lots of destruction... defend your asteroid while demolishing your opponent.

Tips & Tricks:

• This is a Russian game that was Kickstarted in an international version last year - and is finally a little easier to locate a copy here in the States.
• There are multiple ways to defeat your opponent - some of them are more obvious than others. Part of the fun is finding the less obvious ways.
• The Kickstarter versions of the game came with some extra variant cards - they are fun but not necessary. The base game is great "as is".
• Learning how to properly position your clones to give yourself a variety of options each turn is a key to winning. By the same token, cutting off your opponent from options is a splendid way to ensure victory.

Extras

• I think that my review of Septikon is one of the best pieces of board game review writing that I've done - go take a look!
