A game of tactical space combat

In the Interstellar Federation, territorial disputes are no longer settled by war.
Instead, the member states are each represented by a single champion pilot in a combat arena.

These starfighter battles not only determine the fate of worlds,
but are broadcast across the galaxy as the greatest spectator sport in history.

You are a starfighter pilot, trying to outfly and outshoot your opponents.

Each round, players secretly choose 3 manoeuver cards to play in sequence. Then, all players simultaneously reveal and resolve their cards one at a time. Your goal is to move into a position where you have line of sight on an enemy ship, and fire your cannon to score a hit on their shields. You can collect power-ups that grant you additional weapons, manoeuvers and special effect to improve your chances. Watch out for collisions, and avoid the many asteroids flying through the battlefield — or use them to your advantage, using your cannon to break them up into smaller, faster hazards.

Be the first pilot to score ten hits and you win the battle; but don’t let your shields get destroyed, or you’ll be eliminated!
