SCN - Current Games

All Trademarks and copyrights belong to their respective owners; when used without permission; no challenge to ownership is intended.

The mention of or reference to any companies or products in this site is not a challenge to the trademarks or copyrights concerned.

These games are currently in print and should be available through normal distribution channels (and thus your local game store) or directly from the publisher.

The Scale and Complexity values for each game were mainly determined by a poll hosted by SCN early in 2002. A new poll to get values of games released since then will be done soon. A total of 104 valid responses were received in the 2002 poll and those answers complied and the average response is indicated below. An Excel spreadsheet is available with all the valid responses for your review, only the responses to the Scale and Complexity questions are included and you can see which games got the most responses and how players of multiple games compared them - SCN Poll Results Spreadsheet (51K).

Scale identifies the normal number of units controlled by a normal player:

Fighter Combat - 1-5 fighters

Fighters with ships - 1-5 fighters or a small ship

Starship Duel - Single ships

Task Forces - Up to 5 ships

Small Fleets - Up to 15 ships

Mass Fleets - Up to over 15 ships

Complexity is on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the most simple and 10 being the most complex.

Type indicates the type of game:

Board Game - Uses a hex grid for location

Miniatures Game - No grid, distance is measured

Card Game - Cards used, locations are abstracted
