OBJECTThe first player to occupy all four planet spaces is the winner. THE BOARDThe board is in the shape of a circular track. The circle is divided into 28 spaces also known as sectors. One space represents Planet Earth. (Space #1) The opposite space is Planet X, home of the Evil Empire. (Space #15) Moving clockwise from Earth, Space #8 is the Planet Nimrod. Moving clockwise from Planet X, Space #22 is the Planet Cygnus-7. All other spaces are known as Deep-Space sectors. The deck and the discard pile (the vortex) can be kept in the interior of the circle. Also in the interior there is an area called the scrap heap where destroyed units are kept. PIECESEach side has 15 pieces or units. Make them using cardboard counters (or chits). Use blue chits for the Terran Defense Force units. Use red chits for the Evil Empire units. Chits should be marked with their force value, a number between 1 and 5.
THE DECKBoth players share a common deck. The deck contains 2 of each card on the list. SETUPEach player starts with 5 cards. Each player puts all 15 of his units on his homeworld. TURN SEQUENCEPlayers alternate turns. The player whose turn it is, is known as the attacker, the other player is the defender. The Evil Empire goes first. Each turn has 5 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. Roll Phase 3. Build Phase 4. Move Phase 5. Fight Phase
DRAW PHASEDraw two cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and continue. Base maximum hand size = 6. Discard excess cards. Max hand size +1 if you control Nimrod. Max hand size +1 if you control Cygnus-7. Max hand size -2 if you are not in control of your Homeworld.
ROLL PHASERoll two six sided dice (2D6). Cards can be used to modify these dice rolls. BUILD PHASEIf a player rolls doubles (two sixes, snake-eyes, etc.) he may place one of his destroyedunits back into play onto his homeworld (Earth or Planet X). He may only do this if he currently occupies (controls) his homeworld by having one or more of his units on his homeworld space. The player still uses the die rolls for movement.
MOVE PHASEAs in backgammon, move one or two of your units a number of spaces indicated by the dice. Both dice can be assigned to one unit, or each die roll can be assigned to two different units. Die rolls (from roll phase) must be used. Terran units move clockwise. Evil Empire units move counterclockwise. A unit cannot use the second die if, as a result of its first roll, it lands on a space containing enemy units. Cards can be used to modify which units move and by how much. Played cards are discarded. Rolling doubles does not allow you to move four times as in normal backgammon rules.
FIGHT PHASEEach unit has a force value. See the Unit Lists. If a space contains opposing units there will be a fight. Each side adds up the force value of all of its units present to get a force total. The attacker may play attack cards to increase his total. The defender may play defense cards to increase his total. Played cards are discarded. The higher total wins. All units of the loser are destroyed and sent to the scrap heap. The winner keeps units with a total force value equal to the difference between the winning and losing sides force totals. The winner always keeps at least one unit. For example: Winner = 7, loser = 5, difference = 2. The winner may keep units with a total force value of 2 or less, or any one unit, even if it has a force value greater than 2.
