their FAQ" Q:
Is it a roleplaying
game or a board game? A:
Battlestations
splits the difference. As an RPG you have
continuing characters and experience. As a
boardgame the sequence of play is tight
and the action flows. Q:
What makes this game different from
other sci-fi games? A:
Most space games
either focus on the individual characters
or the ships. Battlestations
integrates both aspects so you feel like
you are a fully fleshed out character
onboard a ship that has real capabilities
and limitations.
