GAME OVERVIEW

Planetary Strike is a fast-paced, chess-like, competitive turn-based tactical strategy game in a galaxy where luck does not exist. Each player is a Commander leading a color-coded fleet of 18 vessels deployed around a home planet. Each ship class moves differently and threatens space in its own way. You must lead your fleet to victory by seizing the enemy planet while defending your own.

GOAL

Land any one of your vessels on an opponent’s planet. In two‑player games, this single capture ends the game. In multiplayer games, elimination continues until only one player or team remains.

GAME FLOW

Players take turns clockwise. On your turn, you move exactly one vessel according to its movement rules. Captures happen by moving onto an opponent‑occupied space. No two vessels can share a space; no jumping. Blue goes first in standard play.
