Description
Core Space is a science fiction miniatures board game. Each player takes control of a band of Traders trying to make a living in a dangerous galaxy, all the while hunted by the Purge, a semi-sentient race of humanoid machines whose sole task is to harvest worlds.
A game of Core Space takes place on a detailed 3D board. Your Traders must explore the area, fulfil their objectives, salvage what they can and then escape back to their ship, spending their earnings on desperately-needed repairs. The exciting campaign system will track your crew from game to game, developing their skills, upgrading their equipment and telling their story.
This core set accommodates 1-2 players, but the game supports up to 6 players using additional Trader crews, available separately.

Quotes (from this video)
- The people who bought it really enjoyed it were like oh this is very cool and I like this and I'm very proud of the book as well because I think it's a cool rule set and I also think that the layout on it went very well took a long time but I really enjoyed the way that it came out
- Majestic 13 did not sell all that well
- Death Wizards has been out for a month and a couple of days and it has sold more copies than Majestic 13 has which came out 13 months ago
- it's an indie game made by enemy spotted studios
- so the games are shorter
- it is a very highly tactical game
- players must rely on their widths precise positioning and equipment to win forget about special rules rules in Army building in blackout it's all about raw tactics
- we're kind of out cuz you talked about our our our game in your video recently and we are out of product now
- kill team 3.0 better be good the whole obstruction line of sight has God awful
- I would like them to change kill team drastically and make a third version and see how that works out I would kind of like them to go back to the old ways but I know I'm the only one who thinks that
- Kingdom Death is a great example of a boutique game versus any that I've named so far
- quar such a fantastic game love their minis
- Fallout is the wild west of ips for me something I really can't bring myself to care about
- it's the bombs dropped in 2077 which means that we like got to where we are now here in 2024 and then decided you know what's cool the 1950s let's go back to that and make thing and I'm like why did this happen
- it's alternate history kind of Fallout is yes it's the future you know the bombs dropped in 2077 but the reason we got to that point was because the transistor was never invented so it that's that that's why things are different is because it's alternate history which never had clicked with me the entire time I've been playing those damn games
- I am definitely interested in Fallout tactics
- it was it was too board gamey for me frankly like that was the problem
- I'm liking death Wizards a lot I'm currently working on building up some minis so I can play it nice

Quotes (from this video)
- So, baseball highlights 20 45. So, I kind of want to start testing some things and I think I'm going to try something real simple like a nice little playthrough with this game and um because you could play it solo and you know each game takes about four to seven minutes to play.
- And, you know, not the most high high high high quality game in the world, but as far as fun, I mean, isn't that what it's all about?
- I'll tell you, Stonemaier Games. Dear God, that guy just he's special. He really is. Really is special. Special dude. Just knows what he's doing.
- I can't even get rid of Star of Aaros because that piece of garbage is You got to have the 1.5. You know, they ruined they ruin any value of the the old game. If you ever want to get rid of the old game, it's it's completely useless because they had to come out with 1.5 version.
