Core Space is a board game/miniature game. It is a great solo game, as well as a cooperative game. Up to six players could play, but it's sweet spot is 2 or 3, or simply solo.
Basically this is a science fiction themed game where you run a ships crew to investigate planets, asteroids, space hulks etc. on the outer rim of the known universe looking for stuff to sell and basically keep your crew paid and your ship running. Where the fun comes in is that the Purge has been invading the outer rim and absorbing all kinds of matter and sending it through the wormhole to some unknown destination. Kind of like Star Treks Borg, you will be assimilated kind of stuff. Roughly that's what this is about, space opera galore.
So I've had the basic game forever, got tired of waiting for the plague to end and decided I needed a good solo game to invest some time into. Problem is I am painting Space Hulk dudes for a friend and that was in the way. So I weighed my options, put down the Space Hulk, and knocked out the dozen or so figures I needed to play the game with. I have successfully done this and can go back to painting Genestealers for my friends Space Hulk game, and I am able to play my game to boot.
I am patting myself on the back right now if you can't tell.
So here are a few of the toys I put out.
First up are the Core Space Civilians that are non player characters you interact with during the game.
[Below is Haori]
[Butler]
[Gan'eek]
Next up is my space adventuring crew from the space craft Skylark. There are four characters.
[Cpt Weaver, cigar smoking badass]
[Marlowe, kind of like the first mate]
[Faye, the rookie]
[last but not least my fav, MAC]
Finally the villains', the scary Purge...
[Harvesters]
[Devastators]
[the deadly Assassin]
[the orchestrator of all things death the Live One]
That's it, all my lads and ladies ready to do some butt kicking fun. If you made it all the way down to here, thanks for looking and see you next time.
Cheers
Kevin
