What is Shoulder of Orion
Shoulder of Orion is a fast paced starship boarding action game. Two players will construct a modular board that is unique from game to game. One player takes the role of the attacking forces and other the defender. Each takes turns exploring the board and coming into conflict with each other.
Players have a limited set of moves and military pieces they may use during the game. The attacking player is trying to win via the listed victory conditions before a set number of turns elapses. The defender is trying to prevent this.
The turn sequence is broken into three phases (Command, Movement, and Firefight) and each player completes his turn fully before it is passed to the other.
Advanced rules are provided which gives players access to a set of six fleet cards with unique abilities that will alter their play-style.
