About the game

What you do in a play session

Star Squadron: Citrine vs Amethyst is a tactical space combat game for two players, where you command squadrons of starfighters in epic battles. Customize your pilots and ships, secretly choose maneuvers at the same time as your opponent, and reveal your orders to see who prevails on the battlefield. The combat system is fast and intense, combining dice rolls with factors like range, attack vector, and pilot skills. Each mission has varied objectives, from territory control to VIP protection, and you'll need to manage energy between weapons, shields, and boosters. The game includes detailed miniatures, modular boards, and diverse scenarios, with the option to expand by combining with other boxes for games with more players.
