Engage: Spaceship Combat is a miniature wargame that allows players to control and battle one or more starships. Players alternate in choosing one of their ships and completing three actions with it; these actions can be to attack with various weapon systems, move, repair, transfer power etc. Each ship has its own small play card showing its key systems; to which damage and extra power tokens are added making it easy for the players to see what condition and power level the ship's various systems are currently at. The game has several pre-set missions with victory conditions allowing players to win a Combat Victory (destroying more of the enemy fleet than their own) and/or Objective Victory (completing the mission objectives).
