Space Freaks
tournament wars
Tournament in the Arena of Annihilation – you design your own Freak team with individual traits and send it into the Arena. In the Arena, the team must defend the Home Base and must accrue victory points from attacks, completed missions and securing of areas over six rounds.
Each player is dealt a random Head card and then designs a Freak with a Torso, a left and right Arm as well as Legs from his Freak cards; all freaks of a player then have the traits and characteristics of this Freak template. You are also dealt three mission cards and sponsor cards. Each round begins with a set-up phase including revealing and resolving an Arena Master card. Then players do turns, including * displaying a mission card from your hand or complete such a mission,, this gives you 1 or 2 stars and a sponsor card * Attack with turrets – each turret once per round,, to one target and independent of lines of sight * activate Freak figurines – each one once per round, for limited movements and attacks – Aliens and Droids have only Attack and Move, a Freak can also use Freak card traits and also utilize sponsor cards, laboratories, healing centers and worm holes. An activated figurine has a limited number of move and attack actions per round * Construct turrets and bunkered, and * clean-up.
Space Freaks has something of the SciFi flair from the Sixties and Seventies – tentacles, lasers, aliens, cannons, all to get a good boom! Arena skirmishes with lots of aggression and chance, mixed with strategy. Space regards from Flash Gordon and Perry Rhodan!
