Description

In the year 5,000 in the galaxy of Zylatron, wars are no longer fought. Supremacy is decided on the Great Board of Zylatron. When you play Battle for the Galaxy: Zylatron, you become one of the battle planners of the galaxy of Zylatron. There are 5 main planets in the galaxy- Zull, Amazar, Zarb, Opton, and the central planet of Zylon. On each turn, players move 3 pieces. Your aim is to gain control of the galaxy (control of the board) by landing a warrior on the enemy control headquarters position or by removing all the other players' warriors from the board. A tactical wargame, using a colorful gameboard and interlocking playing pieces in the form of battle stars, star fighters, warriors, and missiles.
