Star Clash

A storm is coming.

Rumors tell of vast fleets of ships being amassed in the far reaches of the galaxy. Fleets that will vie with one another for control of the space ways. No quarter is expected and none will be given in a battle to eliminate all opposition as these fleets clash among the stars.

Star Clash is a quick play card game of spaceship combat where you control a fleet of ships and attempt to eliminate your opponents while keeping your ships intact. Action cards provide ammo for your ship's weapons, minefields, and other cards you can play to inflict damage on enemy ships as well as repair, reinforcements, and other cards that can help to preserve your fleet and keep it in the battle.

Star Clash is a "beer and pretzels" game with simple rules and mechanics that are quickly learned. Designed for 3-9 players, Star Clash also has rules for 2 players as well as solo play. Star Clash is considered an "easy" game with a difficulty rating of 1 on a 10 point scale (1=easy 10=hard).

The game is played using two decks of cards. The first is the Ship Deck (50 cards) which contains the details on the ships that compose the players' fleets. The second deck is the Action Deck (110 cards). This deck is composed of a variety of cards including the ammunition cards for the various ship weapons and other special events or actions that may occur during the game.  Players take turns playing cards from their hand in an attempt to eliminate the other players' ships.

Star Clash is distributed either as a "Print and Play" or print on demand card game.  The PDF download provides the rules and three different print and play versions of the game cards to accomodate different printing needs.  The first deck is full color and designed to be printed on paper, cardstock, or preforated business card sheets.  The second is full sized as well but is an ink/toner friendly B&W and uses only text and line drawings to conserve resources.  The third deck is identical to the second deck expect is smaller with 20 cards per sheet instead of 10 and cannot be printed on the business card sheets.

Alternately, if you don't want to print the cards yourself, you can order the printed card + PDF option.  This will provide you with the full 160 card deck printed and ready to play plus the rules in the PDF.  Either way you have a complete game ready to go.
