Horizon's End! is a science fiction play by mail wargame published by Schubel & Son.
Horizon's End! was an open-ended wargame published by Schubel & Son.[1] This science-fiction game was of medium complexity and had mixed moderation—a mix of hand and computers.[2] The game was set on a colony world after widespread conflict destruction."[1] Rather than large-scale war, the game was "a nitty-gritty, grub-in-the-dirt game, where a large proportion of your time is spent rummaging for fuel, food, and ammunition" according to reviewer John Muir.[1]
At the outset, each of the game's twenty players chose the focus of their group: combat or trade.[1] This determined the funding, personnel, weapons, and vehiclesthe group would have.[1]
