What is Forbidden Stars
The shifting Warp Storms that surround the long lost Herakon Cluster have finally abated, leaving the ancient treasures and planets within this sector open to the rest of the galaxy. Now, the great factions of the galaxy mobilize their fleets and race to establish a foothold. The reward for successful domination surpasses all other concerns, and the price for conquering this sector will be paid in lives.
Forbidden Stars challenges you and up to three other players to take command of a mighty fighting force: the Ultramarines chapter of Space Marines, the Eldar of Craftworld Iyanden, the Evil Sunz Ork clan, or the World Eaters Warband of the Chaos Space Marines. Each faction offers unique armies and play styles, but your goal remains the same — to claim the key objectives selected for your faction. These objective tokens are scattered throughout the Herakon Cluster, but your opponents are sure to defend your objectives against you. You need to build massive armies and command them in unending war to best your enemies and claim your objectives. The fight for the Herakon Cluster is brutal and bloody, and either you will stride triumphant over the bodies of your fallen foes — or they will do the same to you.
Each round in Forbidden Stars is divided into three phases. In the planning phase, players take turns placing order tokens face down on the separate tiles (systems) that make up the game board; the four types of order tokens that players can place correspond to four types of actions that players can resolve in the second phase of play. In the operations phase, players reveal their tokens to:
Dominate, draining friendly planets of their important resources

Nice game with marvelous ideas. The combat system is really good, maybe it needs some details to be perfect but I really like it.
Temática Warhammer 40K. Ideal para 2 o 3 jugadores. Comparte mecánicas con Starcraft. Edición EDGE español. Sin destroquelar. 150 €
entre turnos largos y combate pesado
juego épico a más no poder, con cientos de componentes, eso si, es para una jornada laaarga. Genial
Very good game, better than expected! the game is more than a risk, have a good combat dynamics and general flow on the game. The 40k Feeling is very present! if you are a 40k fanboy this is a must, FFG did it again
Es un juego de lucha y conquista espacial.. entre cuatro razas del mundo de warhammer. LAs razas dan características asimétricas. Gana el jugado que primero consiegue tres objetivos (que son mundos que conquistar en el tablero). El sistema de acción es oculto. El jugador dispone de ocho fichas de acción de las cuales en cada turno se juegan cuatro, boca abajo en el tablero.. los otros jugadores pueden jugar acciones sobre las tuyas, con lo que hay puteo e interacción... hay que planificar bien las cosas. Está bastante bien. LA experiencia del juego es similar al starcraft, pero lo han simpli
