Hello everyone,
Just wanted to share our latest game which we think some of you will enjoy:

Orion's Gate is a space battles game that can be used for large battles (like BFG) as well as dogfights (like X-WING). The game has been in development for a while now, and it went through many stages, even being a papercraft game where you built your own ships. After we were having difficulties in finding someone who was willing to invest the time to help us create papercraft ships the project was put on hold.

Now that there has been a revival of space battle games over the past couple of years however it has become unnecessary to build your own space ship models, as there are many ranges that offer beautiful miniatures to play with. With that in mind we decided to go back and take a look at the game, trying and re-design it to work with existing miniature lines whilst keeping the fun core mechanics of ship destruction intact.

The game is a ton of fun, it has very clean mechanics that create awesome interactions between different ship types and really make you feel the intensity of battle as your fleet gets blown up bit by bit.

We hope you enjoy playing the game as much as we did making it! :)
