Description
Stellar Convoy is a simple worker-placement game where you lead a fractious fleet of survivors fleeing from the alien armada that destroyed their homeworld. Fight for survival while wrestling with other players for control of what is left of humanity.
Each player controls one or more factions, each with a few ships and a handful of crew. Increasingly numerous and difficult crisis spring up every turn, each requiring a different mix of factions to send ships and crew while fending off raids by hostile ships..
Players must work together to resolve the crisis and, take out any enemy ships; each faction simultaneously trying to win the most influence while avoiding letting any player get too far behind.
Resolving a crisis earns Influence for each faction involved, while failing to do so eliminates irreplaceable ships and crew. If any player loses all their ships or crew, EVERYONE loses. Otherwise, the player with the most Influence after weathering the last crisis wins!
Each of the eight factions possesses unique traits or abilities from extra crew, to more powerful ships, to extra missiles, and more!
