O2 Games - Aethersteel Kickstarter

The Aethersteel SciFi Wargame Kickstarter has launched:

O2 Games is proud to announce the Kickstarter of Aethersteel. Aethersteel is a 28mm minatures game that combines aspects of a wargame with those of a card game. This unique combination has produced a game that is easy to learn and yet provides a wide range of strategic options to the player.

The game is set in a lore rich universe in which gods, known as Aeons, have created mirror copies of the same world. On these worlds they have each populated their own copy with a race that is their own image of perfection. However an unforeseen catastrophe has damaged the sun and ripped gateways between these mirror copy worlds. Allowing once isolated races to meet in battle for the first time.

The game makes use of unit reference cards to keep all important information at the player's fingertips. There is no need for codices or force books, as the cards contain information for both gameplay and army construction. Unit equipment can easily be upgraded by swapping cards without swapping models.

In addition, each player has the ability to build a customized Aeon deck of power-up cards to augment their forces during the battle. Need more range, more speed, or more armor? You can choose those cards and decide how and when to play them.

The game is designed to be fast to play, taking about 60-90 minutes to play and can be played with as few as 11 models. Currently two races are available, however a third race is already in prototype and many additional races have been planned for the future.
