Overview

In Black Angel, players work to both advance the Black Angel ship through space towards the planet of Nova and develop technologies that will improve their actions on the ship. Players manage a hand of dice, using them to activate different sections of the ship and trigger actions.

These actions allow players to acquire technology cards, fight off the Ravageurs (space raiders!), and deliver resources to Nova. The game involves careful resource management and planning, as players need to balance their actions on the ship with their long-term goals. Successfully managing these dual goals of technological advancement and spacefaring progress is essential to victory.
