System Vector is a game where players take the roles of 4 similar colonies that have been separated by war. Years have gone by and while the Colonies tried to cover up history, they rediscover their need to explore the stars. The game takes place during this time, re-exploring the stars, building planets and defending against growing conflict. The game features 4 colonies and 1 Pirate clan (optional). It is complete with 24 System cards to explore, Player Reference Cards, 46 units for each player, and Terraform and Population tokens. As well as the optional Pirate units on 1 more card. Printing, cutting and mounting time: 1.5 hours (Mounted with self-adhesive Foamy sheets) The players will manage Fleet, Ore resources and create colonies on other worlds, as well as battle over frontiers. The game requires at least 4 dice to play. Resources may be kept track on paper, but it is suggested to use a token system (like Poker Chips) in order to do this. Note: System Vector was designed to be printed using Photos, and all printables are 4x6 inches, and are high-resolution. This keeps ink costs down, and makes things easy to carry and store. Overall I got all my cards, units and tokens printed at the Albertson's Kodak kiosk, and spent under $10.00 for all of it.
