Star Requiem: Humanity’s Last Stand Beta

Purple Pawn - Mon, 05/20/2013 - 8:00pm

Star Requiem: Humanity’s Last Stand, a print-and-play solitare game designed by Steve Hawkins, has just entered the beta phase of its development. Basically this means that all the rules have been ironed out, but some balancing issue and art need to be tweaked before it’s officially done.

It’s a sci-fi game that looks to have a good amount of depth to it. While the files for the game aren’t yet available, they should be coming soon. There’s a document showing the first few turns of play here, so keep your eyes on the BGG page for more info.

Steve has kept a fantastic designer diary of his progress making the game, which I suggest you take a look at.
