Battle-Sphere is a game which involves a group of rebel ships assaulting an imperial Battle-Sphere that is stranded and defenseless without a necessary component.[1] The Imperial player tries to deliver the missing component; the rebel player tries to either destroy the Battle-Sphere before it is operational again, or destroy the ship that is delivering the component. If the Imperial player is able to repair the Battle-Sphere, its powerful armament will usually overwhelm the rebels.[2]
The game comes with the following components:[2]
- 18" x 14" map
- game rules
- fictional explanatory notes
- cardboard counters for the rebel and Imperial ships
The player with the most victory points at the end of the game is the winner:[2]
- Imperial Battle-Sphere is worth 7 points (awarded to Imperial player if it survives, to the Rebel player if it is destroyed)
- Rebel captain is worth 3 points (awarded to the Imperial player if the captain dies, to the Rebel player if the captain survives)
