Science Fiction

"Science fiction gaming" covers a lot of territory, but the main categories or genres are:

  • starship combat - anything from star fighters to entire starfleets
  • surface warfare - two armies or two squads, slugging it out
  • street warfare - futuristic gangs battling over turf
  • boardgames played using miniatures
