Barnard's Star

Barnard's Star is a 1-2 player solitaire space game set in the future. On the satellite planet of "BS.03.04," the Terran and Narovian empires compete for precious minerals. The battle escalates to both ground forces and space combat. Will you conquer the planet? The stage is set...

Barnard's Star deals with the critical battle in the Naronian War. Players assume the roles of the Naronian and Terran leaders fighting the battle on the planetary surface.    As the battle progresses, it is a race against time for both players. The number of beacons destroyed will determine the fate of the coming Terran counterattack fleet.

The two geomorphic 11" x 17" maps portray a portion of the surface of the satellite BS.03.04 (15.7% of the total surface). The 280 1/2" counters (die-cut and back-printed) represent the ground and space forces involved in the battle. Included are rules for space combat, planetary defenses, jump troops, teleportation points and more.

BS.03.04 is the location of the second beacon site serving the Terran-Naronian
communications route. The surface of the satellite is a prime example of a K type
planet: rugged, airless, with numerous craters and volcanoes. Lava flows and creviced
terrain cover large areas of the surface. BS.03.04 orbits a B type planet. The gas
giant's gravitational force facilitates interstellar travel but its magnetic field eclipses
communication for 22 hours each orbit of the satellite.
