How to Play

Star Gambit is a turn-based strategy game where you command a fleet of spaceships on a hexagonal battlefield. Your goal is to destroy the enemy Portal while protecting your own.

Move and Attack

On your turn, move your ships and attack enemy units. Ships fire in straight lines, dealing 2 damage at close range and 1 damage at long range. You can move and attack with as many ships as you have. (None on your first turn)

End your Turn (Deploy a Ship)

If you have any ships in your reserve, you can end your turn by deploying one via the portal. If you've made a move or attack, you may end your turn without deploying a ship.

Win the Battle

Destroy the enemy Portal to claim victory! You can also win by eliminating all enemy ships or forcing them into a position where they have no legal moves.
