Pixel Star is an expandable and easy to learn 2-4 player space skirmish game, with unique dice drafting action and little pixel ships that pop out of stat cards. An entire fleet can fit in your pocket and be played on any table.

Build your fleet of pixel ships, pop them out of their stat cards, roll all the action dice for the round, and take turns claiming those dice to assign to your fleet. Keep an eye on all the actions available each round though, as you and all your opponents are taking from the same pool of dice!

Each ship has a unique ability or action that might need a particular die side to activate. So knowing what's available to you and your opponents each round is crucial to the strategy of dice drafting. Do you claim a die that isn't as useful to you right now but cuts off your opponent from using it? Or do you claim a die that gets your fleet into a better position straight away?

Easy to teach and playable on any table, Pixel Star gives players all the robust and strategic elements of miniature heavy space skirmish games, in a much smaller package. A full fleet, with all the tokens and dice you need is designed to fit in a standard deck box.
