About the game
Prepare for an epic battle against the 'Numerals,' an alien threat that annihilated your mothership! In D6 Starfighter, you are the lone pilot of a starfighter, humanity's last hope against these numerical foes. This game is a tactical puzzle that blends dice rolling with resource management and strategic placement. Each turn, you face a new wave of enemies, represented by cards, and must use your five dice to defeat them. The catch? Each enemy requires an exact damage value to be taken down. It's no use bringing out the heavy artillery if the enemy only needs a scratch, and vice-versa. This is where your starfighter's, pilot's, and weapons' abilities come into play, allowing you to manipulate both your dice and the enemy line. Every move is a new challenge, an equation to be solved under pressure. You'll need quick thinking and a bit of luck to optimize your plays and overcome the overwhelming odds. The game is entirely solo, offering a tense and rewarding experience for those who enjoy mental challenges. As it's a 'Print & Play' game, you can have your copy ready for action quickly, but be aware that it has a moderate language dependency, so having translated cards or using a helper sheet will greatly enhance the immersion.
