About this game

Three asymmetric factions (Terran, Protoss, Zerg) wage interstellar war across a modular planet system. Build bases, research technology, and command armies in a game that captures the real-time strategy feel through a clever order-stack mechanism. Orders are placed face-down on planets, building tension as stacks grow before resolving in sequence. Combat uses unit cards and combat cards for tactical flexibility. The three factions play fundamentally differently: Zerg swarm, Protoss elite strike, Terran fortify. An ambitious adaptation that delivers genuine StarCraft strategy.
