Hi everyone,

I've been lurking for quite a while and have tried my hand at making a new game. Inspirations for this include Space Hulk, Mercenary Air Squadron, Intruder, Last Frontier, the movie Aliens and a general lack of easy to aquire solitare games.

My preference when making it was to do something with a science fiction theme, and
Included scenario is a rescue of crew from aboard a ship that has been attacked by hostile aliens.

Can this game be played solitaire?

If you change the Scenarios terrain layer into a cards sheet the player can shuffle a stack of scenario cards to pick one at random.

Instead of providing the same tokens sheet twice you can put it in once and set the "supply" attribute to get more tokens for each item, like so:
<counter-section rows="3" columns="10" front-left="0" front-top="50" front-right="500" front-bottom="200" supply="20" />

Yes, it's intended for solitare play. Over one player is slapped on for now.

Ooh, and thanks for the idea and tip.
