About the game
In Astroforce: The Dice Game you alone are responsible for the crew members aboard the A.S.V. Pioneer during its five year mission of exploration. In order to succeed you will need to complete missions and overcome the unpredictable challenges that may arise during them. If you complete the full five years of exploration you will return to Astroforce Headquarters in glory and be promoted to Admiral. But beware; as you travel ever further from Astroforce-chartered space the challenges and constraints you face will grow more and more extreme. Do you have what it takes to survive? A re-themed version of the Print and Play game Star Trek: the Dice Game. Astroforce: the Dice Game uses the same rules and mechanics that won its predecessor the 2016 Golden Geek award for Best Print and Play Boardgame. Astroforce: the Dice Game is a solo worker placement dice game. —description from the publisher
