Spaceship Board Game List Part 7

Last updated - September 24, 2008


This is an attempt to list all of the spaceship board games both in and out of print. If you have items to add or mistakes to point out please email them to me at "thomas . granvold @ sun . com". Remove all spaces in the email address. This is unfortunatly needed to cut down on spam emails I receive.
If the name of the game is a link, then it will load its picture.
I only own a few of these games, many I have not even seen. What I do have is not for sale. Click here for suggesetions on how to find out of print/production games/miniatures.
  • Star Trek III (1985) by West End Games

             diplomacy, force, and other means gain as many allies
             as possible to win."  This is sort of a cross between
             a wargame and a role playing game using a system simular
             to the one in "Tales of the Arabian Nights". 2 player game.

  • Star Trek Starship Combat RPG (circa 1983) by FASA
            Out of print.  This game used SSD's, simplier than

            role playing game.

            never appeared.  This even showed up in a FASA catalog.
    
            There was also going to be a game called Operation: Armageddon

            in two parts, the Klingon Front and the Romulan Front.  There

            representing one ship.  Designed by Bob Marinan.
