Space Hulk

Who it's for
Warhammer fans and two-player tactical gamers who want claustrophobic, asymmetric miniature combat dripping with tension.
Not for you if…
You need more than two players or prefer more balanced tactical combat without overwhelming asymmetry.
Vibe's take
claustrophobic corridor terror, asymmetric overwhelming odds, action-point tension, Aliens atmosphere
About this game
Blood Angels Terminators advance through claustrophobic corridors of a derelict space ship while Genestealers swarm from every vent. Space Hulk is the definitive corridor-combat miniature game, using a simple action-point system that creates incredible tension from the Marine player's limited time and the Genestealer player's overwhelming numbers. The asymmetry is perfect: Terminators are powerful but slow and few, while Genestealers are fragile but endless. Think Aliens the board game.
