Homeworld Fleet Command Board Game Now Live On Kickstarter

Homeworld has been a PC video game staple for over 20 years. It’s a real-time space strategy game where you command a fleet of starships in battle against a massive amount of enemies. The scope is gigantic (and three-dimensional), which might explain why no one’s attempted to turn it into a board game until now.

Homeworld: Fleet Command, developed by Modiphus Entertainment, just launched its crowdfunding campaign. As you might imagine, this is a game with a LOT of pieces! For one to four players, the box contains 101 miniature ships including 24 fighters, 12 corvettes (not that kind), 12 frigates, one carrier, one destroyer and one mothership…and an equal amount of those things in a different color for the other side. Also included are a large amount of tokens and cards for gameplay purposes….and that’s just the core box. It’s possible to have over 400 ships in play with this game, if you pay for that many.

While a retail version is planned eventually, the version of Homeworld: Fleet Command that’s being offered on Kickstarter right now will be exclusive to that campaign. The cheapest tier is Fighter at $91 which includes the core box and the Scout Box stretch goal. The Commander tier at $151 has those things plus the Expansion Box. Admiral at $211 throws in two additional Fleet Boxes, and on from there you get the idea. The more cash you chip in, the larger space battles you can have.

The Homeworld: Fleet Command Board Game crowdfunding campaign will remain open until March 5. Secure your copy by visiting the page through this link.
