Turn or Burn

torb_logo_small.png

Turn or Burn is a fast-paced game of space fighter combat for 2 to 8 players.  To start a game, you design your fighter from a deck of system cards.  Each turn you play a system or maneuver card facedown to plot the action your fighter will take.

The game uses vector movement, so you must plan ahead!  When everyone has plotted, all players reveal their actions simultaneously.  Fighters move, guns fire, stuff explodes, and it's on to the next turn.

Everything you need to play Turn or Burnis available in the PDF file.  However, the best way to play is on a large hex mat using space fighter miniatures.  You can find these at most hobby and game stores.  In addition, Star Ranger's Space Combat News has a comprehensive list of miniature and game mat online retailers.
