    Star Fighters: Rapid Fire is live on KS

    in News and Rumours

    Star Fighters: Rapid Fire is a real-time dice allocation and space skirmish game. The campaign is currently live on Kickstarter and will last until December 2.


    (image from the KS campaign)


    Each round, you roll dice frenetically to get what you want until the timer stops and allocate them gradually to your spaceship board. You use these dice to move your ship around the board, to rotate (different sides of the ships have different shield levels), to use "phasers" (pew pew on adjacent ships and torpedoes) or to launch torpedoes that will follow around the enemy ship.

    In solo, you take a pick among four slightly asymmetric fighters and fight against a giant fortress hosting an army of Outer Space invaders. The solo rules, however, have not been revealed yet.

    Frenetically? Shit, Z, English is my native (and only) language, but I'm often looking-up words you say. 😄 I guess I can see the root word is frenzy (I think).


    P.S. Did I tell ya a friend of mine here also has a home in Bordeaux. She invited my girlfriend and I to come there early next year (for up to 4 months!). My girlfriend doesn't wanna go. But I'm thinkin' that me spending a few months in France with another woman isn't gonna work-out for me in the long run. I'd come back and someone else would be living here (girlfriend gone). Shit, a few months in France's vineyard area would probably be awesome. I like grapes. 🙂

    You know I'm cheating, yes? Most rare and literate words in English are French loanwords. So these are words that are easy to come by for me!


    That's what you get when your nobility speaks French for centuries. So French speakers using mindlessly their own words sound like upper class people. How convenient!

    @Zerbique Let's not call it cheating. How 'bout you're "linguistically tricky"? 🙂
