Lost Ship: A Survival Game
 |
ost Ship is a tabletop game for one or two players about the sacrifices and compromises made during an interstellar war. Created by the author of Westside¸ Deadball ¸ and Comrades ¸ it uses simple mechanics to tell the harrowing story of 40¸000 lost souls' journey home.
In this game¸ you are the executive officer of a stranded colony ship leaping from star to star in search of a planet to call home. You are responsible for maintaining the ship's key systems¸ supervising the pilots who protect it in battle¸ and doing whatever it takes to safeguard the 40¸000 travelers aboard.
You will track damage¸ duty assignments¸ pilot deaths¸ and the other ugly details of this odyssey across the stars. Your captain directs each battle; the pilots fight. All you can do is watch¸ pray¸ and record the chaos.
A game of Lost Ship tracks your journey leap by harrowing leap. When your ship arrives in an unfamiliar system¸ straightforward six-sided die rolls tell you what you find: fuel¸ parts¸ enemy warships¸ or-if you are lucky-a planet to claim as your own.
Welcome to space. Try not to die.
