Silent Death: The Next Millennium Deluxe Edition (1995)

About this game

From the publisher website: Silent Death: The Next Millennium is an exciting, quick-playing, and easy-to-learn table-top game of star fighter combat set against the backdrop of a disintegrating high-tech empire in the far future. The universe of Silent Death: TNM is our own future 9,000 years from now. Space travel is common for those species that hold the technology, and humans have come to live on hundreds of worlds all across the Orion arm of our galaxy. This Deluxe Box Set allows for a wide diversity of weapon types, crew quality, and tactical situations. Exciting new features include ship-building rules that allow you to design ships from scratch and 24 updated, beautifully illustrated ship designs.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 3.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
