Star Schlock Battle Game: Miniatures and Skirmish Rules

The tabletop miniatures game inspired by sci-fi of the 1970s and 80s.

 

Blast off for adventure with Star Schlock—the tabletop miniatures game inspired by sci-fi of the 1970s and 80s! Use miniatures from the growing line of Star Schlock figures—who may bear an uncanny, yet legally distinct resemblance to familiar sci-fi tropes—to wage intergalactic war on your kitchen table.

With the Star Schlock Battle Game Starter Set you’ll be able to pit the heroic officers of the Explorer Corps against the brutal Space Apes of the Galactic Simian Kingdom.

Fortunes can swing dramatically in Star Schlock! Mount sweeping charges against your enemy’s flank! Risk it all with a plan so crazy it might just work! This isn’t a passive game where you set your figures up and spend two hours seeing if your deployment decisions worked. You’ll need to think hard to use the limited resources at hand to outwit your opponent, push your units to the limit of their capability, and exploit the vulnerable spots in your opponent’s strategy.

Play a nail-biting game against a single opponent on a 3’x3′ battlefield, or bring the game to your club and play an epic six-player confrontation on a sprawling 4’x6′ table (or larger!). Star Schlock is a flexible system built to handle a variety of gaming group sizes.

Use the rules for your universe, or come play in ours.The Star Schlock rules emulate the adventures of the long running Canadian sci-fi series of the same name (it ran for 20 years—surely you’ve heard of it?). From the Explorer Corps boldly going where none have gone before, to the madhouse that is the Space Ape home world, the Star Schlock universe is full of space princesses, mystical crystal knights, infectious mutants, plucky robots, and a host of other familiar sci-fi tropes. The Starter Set is the perfect place to jump in as we kick off the Galactic War that would be fought onscreen, in comics, novels, and trading cards for two decades!

Dozens of character and unit profiles already detail the denizens of the Star Schlock universe, with more to come. Gather troops with abilities that synergize with each other to unleash epic combos that will leave your opponents reeling!

Star Schlock is designed to emulate low-budget sci-fi television and movies of the 1970s and 80s, not to mention pulp novels, comics, and Saturday morning cartoons.

Each player fields between 6 and 30 figures, with the ability to choose a mix of single figure character units (the heroes and villains of Star Schlock lore) and 5-figure group units (the unnamed background troopers who get mowed down in droves).

Star Schlock’s card-driven initiative system keeps the action unpredictable, but gives you control over your fate. Will you play a card to win initiative but only leaves your units a single action? Or is it better to hold back, prioritizing efficiency, to unleash two (or even three!) actions from each of your units.

Actions are resolved with dice pools that use icon-based Star Schlock dice. A handful of modifiers may add bonus dice to a roll, keeping dice resolution quick and flexible.

A game with starter forces of four units per player can be finished in an hour, but the rules are designed to accommodate larger tables as well. Six player mega-battles can be wrapped up in an evening.
