Zeo Genesis Scalable Skirmish Game

Zeo Genesis is a scalable skirmish miniatures game featuring big armor suits locked in kinetic action. Designed by Andy Chambers with narrative by Gav Thorpe.

Backed by specialist support teams, daring Zeo pilots battle each other for control of humanity’s final redoubt; one hundred heliospheres. When an inter-system slipway vanishes the political maneuvering, corporate intrigue and covert actions give way to open war.

Zeo units go head-to-head through various scenarios. Zeo units are one or two Zeoforms (based on size) typically accompanied by three-to-five Supports. Games include one-to-four Zeo units per side. One or two Zeo unit games are played on a 3’x3’ table and take roughly 30 and 45 minutes respectively.

In Zeo Genesis players alternate activating their models to keep play moving quickly. Each activated model gets multiple actions such as a Move/Move/Shoot (in any order), rewarding decisive play. The ability to react during opposing activations means that players are constantly engaged with the action.

Our Zeoforms – known as Zeos – are mobile, well-armed and armored suits at the forefront of any conflict in the Hundred Suns. Backed up by engineers, hackers, drones and other support fighters, Zeo pilots are the warrior elite of the far future.
