From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colony Delta, subtitled "Earth vs. Sigma Draconix with a Colony World in the Balance", is a science fiction board wargame published by Fantasy Games Unlimited (FGU) in 1979.
Components
Colony Delta is a two-player game where humans and aliens vie for control of a wealthy colony world in the 23rd century.[1]
The game box contains:[2]
- mounted 17" x 22" hex grid map board
- 532 die-cut counters
- rulebook
- reference card
Setup
Both players are given 100 points to purchase equipment. Each places one spaceport on the planet Delta, and one shuttlecraft, and their other equipment on their home planet.[2]
Gameplay
Both players try to earn as many points as possible from mining and agriculture, which they can maximize by taking land from the other player. War is not inevitable; and the players can attempt to use diplomatic and other means rather than warfare.[2]
Victory conditions
At the end of the game, the player with the most accumulated points is the winner.[2]
