{"product_id":"battlegame-book-3-galactic-war","title":"Battlegame Book 3: Galactic War","description":"\u003cp\u003eA book that includes four \"realistic space wargames\". Each game has a double A4 sized board and a page of black and white counters that need to be cutout and in some cases assembled to be stand-up starships. This game book is number 3 in the Battlegame Book series.\n\nThe four games are:\nSpace Pirates. 2-4 players. Players control 3 ships and are racing to pick up cargoes from asteroids and return them to earth. Each ship has a speed from 0 to 5 must change speed by one unit each turn. Attacks are permitted and send the loser out of control. Landing is a fine art of judging speed.\n\nDeadly Planet. 2-4 players. Each player has a team of astronauts stranded on a hostile planet and they have to reach specific pick-up point. Dangerous beasts roam the planet, some of which can be ridden; others exist only to attack astronauts.\n\nInvasion Earth. 2 players. The Ganoids are invading Earth's seas. The earth player using orbital missile satellites, submarine and surface fleets must track down and destroy the Ganoids spawning craft. It is a game of careful placement as the Ganoid player tries to over-extend the Earth player's resources.\n\nGalactic War. 2 players. The Krul vs the Stellar Federation. Players expand across the map capturing planets to increase their technology rating and dodging the randomly moving anti-matter cloud. Combat and conquest depends on the number of ships in the fleet. As only one ship can occupy each space, long snaking fleets stretch across the board. Some of the ships are annihilators - suicide bombers that destroy all neighboring ships. Ship types are kept secret from your opponent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.00 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Andrew McNeil, James Opie, Dave Rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1975\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rigby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51927124246744,"sku":"SB-D15EF0130BB6-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/0saku3utrsyxnhh7g1jz02zgcxps.jpg?v=1785466295","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/battlegame-book-3-galactic-war","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
