Just a quick announcement that our Doomstar now is live and available for purchase! Store page - 25% off In Doomstar, your fleet is comprised of hidden units – units which remain unidentified until they enter battle - so you'll need bluff, bravado and super cool strategy to weed out and destroy the enemy's Command Ship. Only when two opposing pieces sit on the same square are the units revealed and the weakest defeated. Each of the units in your fleet has a set of different capabilities, and it's up to you to deploy them with cunning and blast your enemy to oblivion. In appearance Doomstar recalls Stratego, but it's much more fluid to play - as well as featuring Daniel, the space duck. Beta let's play available here: Das Tactic - Let's Peek at Doomstar Please check it out and help spread the word! We're super excited about this one and should be right up your alley if you're even remotely in to turn-based strategy or board games! Thanks for everyone who's helped out and supported us so far!

- Lew Pulsipher's Doomstar - Linux [390.74 M]
Doomstar is a board game for two players where you have to devise a plan and use your cunning to locate your opponent's Command Ship and destroy it to win the game. The identity of a player's ship is visible to him but not to his opponent and different pieces have different capabilities and movement rules which creates a tense and deeply tactical affair.

- Play against friends or online opponents with fully asynchronous online multiplayer
- Multiple ship types with unique abilities and tactics
- Customise your fleet and board for even greater gameplay variety
- Exclusive five-song soundtrack from space composer Simon Heath
- Steam Achievements and Trading Cards
- The world's greatest space duck.
