The Final Light-Year

A 12-part episodic space adventure by Jason Greeno. Gather your crew and gear and launch into a fringe section of space where the law teeters over the edge and a good captain can earn a living. There's no shortage of threats that endanger the goodfolk of deep space, but luckily your torpedo bay is full and lasers are hot. In The Final Light-Year you'll play solo or cooperative with a friend, as the captain of a so-called starship, in hopes of earning some rewards and a decent rep. Using tactical maneuvering and dice-based action selection, you'll work through the sector's small, medium and large enemies trying to gain rewards and ultimately live to see another day. The goal is to defeat all three Enemies (Minion, Commander and Overlord). To do so you'll need to manage your ship's resources, crew and your wits to defeat unique and challengint threats. The game evolves across two turn phases, moving and combating at the Battle Phase (ships) and earning rewards at the Resupply Phase (planets), depending on your current location on the Sector Track. The game ends when you defeat the Overlord and win, or when any player's hull is reduced to 0 and you lose. Good luck with your adventures! Customizable episodes will challenge you with variable enemies and threats while offering powerful new gear and talented crew to help you in your adventures.
