Starship Marine is a set of science fiction wargame rules about the battle to control and capture a starship by a boarding party moving through the corridors and rooms of a crippled starship.
Typically one side controls the attackers, who are mostly composed of the eponymous ‘Starship Marines’, and the defenders, usually less well armed crewmen, with perhaps a few Starship Marines to stiffen the defence.
The deck plans can either be drawn out on a plan or built as model.
There is more about the background setting at www.theuniverse.org.uk.
The minimum you need to play the game are a few models, some d10 dice, a large sheet of paper with a deck plan on it, and these rules.
This is a simple and fast-moving game, and a typical small game takes about a hour or so.
