Overview

In Space Base, players compete to become the Admiral of the Fleet by building a powerful engine of dice-driven income and victory points. Each turn, a player rolls two dice, activating the corresponding ships in all players' space bases. This means even when it's not your turn, you're still earning income and making crucial decisions, keeping you engaged throughout the game.

As you earn income, you can purchase new ships to add to your space base, upgrading your dice roll bonuses and strategically positioning them to maximize your output. With careful planning and a bit of luck, you can build a formidable space base and amass enough influence to claim the title of Admiral!
