Battles in Deep Space is a two player abstract game of star ship battles. Players customize their forces by picking four ships out of the twelve options. Each ship has it's own unique move pattern, attacks with one three dice options, and some have special abilities. On a player's turn they move one of their ship and then they may attack with a ship. The attacking ship does not have to be the moving ship. Attacks are resolved by rolling a six-sided, eight-sided, or ten-sided die. Hits are scored on a six or higher. The first player to destroy all of the other player's ships wins. —user summary
