Board Game Geek Rating: 5.58. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.63. This game is suitable for 2 to 4 players and was published in 2016. It's the Kickstarter Edition of Drop Fleet Commander Board Game, which includes the core game and all met stretch goals. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Dropfleet Commander is an exciting orbital combat game set in the Dropzone Commander universe. Most of your games will take place in orbit above a planet's surface. The gaming table, sized 4x4, shows the planet's surface instead of the typical starfield. The area covered is about the size of a large European country or US state. Weapon range isn't fixed; it depends on your ship's scanner power, the enemy ship's signature, and enemy actions (firing multiple weapons boosts a ship's signature). Stealth is very important! The 2 - Player Starter Set for Dropfleet Commander comes with the full rulebook and fast - play sheets, UCM and Scourge Frigate and Cruiser Sprues with construction guides, innovative flight stands, a double - sided fold - out map, city markers, a token sheet, a tape measure, and dice. At TheGameSteward, we're proud to support campaigns like this one. A good portion of every dollar you spend on Dropfleet Commander will go towards backing great new games on Kickstarter. If you have any questions about buying this game online or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
Using the Dropfleet Commander game is a blast. First, set up the 4x4 gaming table with the double - sided fold - out map. Place the city markers as you like. The token sheet and tape measure will come in handy during the game. When building your ships, use the construction guides that come with the UCM and Scourge Frigate and Cruiser Sprues. The innovative flight stands are there to hold your ships in place. To play, follow the rules in the full rulebook or use the fast - play sheets for a quicker start. Remember, weapon range can change, so keep an eye on your ship's scanner power and the enemy's actions. Stealth can give you an edge, so use it wisely. As for maintenance, keep your ship sprues and other components in a dry and safe place. Avoid bending the flight stands or losing the small tokens. If you have any add - ons, make sure to check if they're compatible with the base game before using them. And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact The Game Steward.
