Star Squadron is a head-to-head space dogfighting battler: customize your ace squadron of skilled pilots and powerful starfighters, secretly assign high-octane maneuvers to your squad at the same time as your opponent, then reveal orders and see who predicted and outwitted the enemy to find an attack vector ... and then FIRE WEAPONS!
Just like starfighter pilots, players plan and perform maneuvers simultaneously, making gameplay insanely fast. Thinking one layer deeper than your opponent is the key to finding an angle of attack. Once you've lined up a shot, a unique combat system combines range, attack vector, pilot accuracy, and weapon firepower into attack rolls that use handfuls of dice - like the dreaded vulcan cannon, which rolls twelve dice for every attack! But stay frosty, because your target has a chance to evade, plus energy shields and hull armor to punch through.
Mission objectives range from controlling resource-rich terrain hexes, to protecting secret VIPs (Very Important Pilots), to simple out-and-out deathmatch. To fulfill these objectives you'll have to strategically prioritize which ship systems need your precious energy: weapons, shields, or boosters. Mix up each game with plug-and-play options: treacherous terrain tiles, specialized pilot skills, exotic energy weapons, varying ship classes, engaging tactical objectives, and a multitude of game modes. While the gameplay is bursting with familiar sci-fi tropes, the world of Star Squadron is anything but cliche: evil nanotech cyber-liches battle energy-crystal-worshipping paladins while stratocratic federation pilots sortie against psyche-bonded bioship/pilot pairs.
Star Squadron: Citrine vs Amethyst is a complete two-player battle box - not a starter set - containing two full factions (the Citrine and the Amethyst), 6 detailed starfighter minis with stands, heavy-duty ship boards that hold cards, track energy, and mark HP, unique art and lore for every pilot, ship, faction, and map, 12 dice, and multiple mission scenarios and terrain types. It can be combined with Star Squadron: Eisenkiesel vs Vermarine for more customization, more factions, and more players: four players with two boxes, six with three.
