Fleet Commander: Genesis

Players command fleets of futuristic warships in tactical space combat, selecting factions, ships and weapon loadouts before each battle. Turns combine movement, firing and resource management as players maneuver tiles and expend dice-based actions to damage opponents’ ships and objectives. The game supports 2–4 players (with a larger edition for up to six), offers modular space tiles and a variety of ship classes from frigates to heavy battleships, and resolves combat with engraved dice and tokens. Setup is quick and playtime runs under an hour, encouraging repeated skirmishes and evolving tactical choices.
