A Fast, Puzzley, Polyomino Sniper Duel!

Super Snipers is a fast-to-learn, fast-to-play, two-player sniper duel featuring simultaneous turns, no downtime, a familiar polyomino placement mechanic used in a novel and exciting way, and an intense real-time mode!

Super Snipers

Each Player takes on the role of a "Super Sniper", a cybernetically and genetically enhanced soldier; a relic from the last great war. Now working as a mercenaries for opposing nomadic factions, players will need to train their sights on each other.

GAMEPLAY

Focus

Placing Focus

Players place Focus based on the following rules:

• Before placing, you may flip and re-orient Focus as you wish.

• The first piece of each Focus Type must contact an edge of the Grid. Otherwise, it must create a chain with a Focus of the same type/color.

• You may not cover Crosshairs, Innocents, or the Primary Target with Focus.

Phases of Play:

There are 4 Phases of play that repeat until one Player has made 3 Kills:

Phase I: Hide

Players secretly place their Targeting Discs in front of their Opponent's Locations. Only one will conceal their hiding spot...

Phase II: Locate

Players place polyominoes - called Focus - on any of the Location Grids in front of them in an effort to find their Opponent's hiding spot.

Phase III - Kill

When a player Locates the other, they enter the Kill Phase, and immediately place all Bonus Focus earned from the Locate Phase. Players continue to take their turns simultaneously regardless of which Phase they are in.

In the Kill Phase, players will proceed to pull and place Focus in an attempt to...

Isolate Innocents

Secure Bonuses

Frame your Primary Target

And Take the Shot!

Other Features:

• Progressive difficulty means that the Leader always has the harder shot to make. This keeps games tight but is inherently fair as the winning Player will have to make a kill on all three Targets.
• Intense Real-Time Mode

The Characters:

Sirius

Sirius was part of the first generation of Super Snipers, back when they were still designed to be immortal. Cut off from his anti-aging drug regimen, Sirius is beginning to feel his age of 145 years. No other Super Sniper alive has as much experience or as many confirmed kills. Sirius is the definition of cool under pressure. Securing New York is a priority for Sirius, as there is likely still a stash of the anti-aging drug in the abandoned military compound there.

Jane-VIII

Jane VIII represents the cutting edge of the now-defunct Super Sniper program. The seven Janes who preceded her have had their consciousnesses downloaded into Jane VIII's psyche. When taking a shot, it's like having eight Snipers trained on the same target. In the quiet of night, it's chaos, as every horrible memory from eight careers of killing come back in waves. She is hoping that the Military Complex will hold the key to freeing herself from the voices in her head.
