Starmada

The Universal Game of Starship Combat

Starmada™ is a miniatures board game of starship combat. At its most basic level, players take command of space fleets in a general attempt to reduce each other to just so much space junk. At its most advanced level, the game can be customized to breathe life into any science fiction background that players might imagine.

Novices shouldn’t fret; the core set of rules has been designed with simplicity and ease of play in mind, accessible even to beginners. On the other hand, seasoned veterans should find the concise nature of the rules quite refreshing. It allows players to concentrate on the finer points of squashing their opponents rather than arguing about rules interpretations, without sacrificing any of the flavor or excitement of more complex games.

Simple, but not simplistic, is the guiding principle.

Starmada™ is designed by our friend Daniel Kast of Majestic Twelve Games. Amarillo Design Bureau, Inc., distributes this excellent product to the wholesaler/retailer network for Majestic Twelve, and provides hard copies for sale by Majestic Twelve. (ADB, Inc., also sells hard copies.) To visit Majestic Twelve Game's forum, please click here.

Majestic Twelve also uses their game engine for Grand Fleets, a game of WW1 and WW2 naval combat. A sample from that game is here.

STARMADA will enter a new era on 23 April with the release of the new Nova Edition rulebook. Updated and improved, the new edition includes:

Streamlined inertial movement, with options for different settings;
An intuitive combat system, including three distinct layered defenses; and
The most comprehensive starship construction rules available anywhere!
Dozens of stand-alone options and advanced rules; pick the ones you want!

We will update the existing Star Fleet Starmada books to Nova Edition level during the spring and summer (Klingon Armada and Romulan Armada in May, Distant Armada and Alien Armada in June). Admiral Edition books will no longer be sold through distribution as of now, but can be special ordered.

Majestic Twelve also has errata for their starmada games.
