Description

Homeworlds is a deep abstract strategy game of perfect information, resource management, and galactic war. Can you destroy your opponent's Homeworld before their space fleet reaches yours? Originally, Homeworlds was played with a full 60 pyramid (“classic icehouse”) game set and could be played with 2–6. The original two players variant rules were called Binary Homeworlds. This new standalone 2 player edition contains 36 pyramids in 4 colors which each provide specific powers in the game (red for attack, yellow for movement, green for growth, and blue for transformation). Using just 36 pyramids, Homeworlds is actually a 4X conquest game (Expand, Explore, Exploit, Exterminate). —description from the publisher
