Enderain is a brand new Sci-Fi wargame coming out very soon from the folks at Skyseer Games. It comes from Jason and Amy and has been designed to fill that middle ground between a complex wargame and something quick and easy. After looking at other games on the market, they thought they'd have a crack at making a game themselves!

Enderain Rulebook // Skyseer Games

Enderain has been set on a planet that is in the midst of terrible turmoil. Law and order are a thing of the past and this chaos led to the growth of an authoritarian society. You will be diving in to make a fun and detailed crew of characters for playing out games within this world where you fight for survival!

Whilst there is some lore and fluff to the world of Enderain, you don't need to use that to guide the progress of your games. The game has been designed to offer you a neat "generic" Sci-Fi shooter that could be added to worlds like Star Wars if you liked! The most important thing to know is the game is quick to dive into.

You also get to use whatever miniatures you like in your games of Enderain (always a bonus!). If you have a collection lying around that is in need of some love then maybe used them to give Enderain a go with your friends.

Game-wise, the team behind the game boast...

• Unique card-driven game management
• Create unique characters with useful roles and powerful abilities
• Fight one-off games or full campaigns with full level-up paths
• Unique NPC AI system allows unpredictable and challenging solo, coop, or competitive games
• Intelligent “team tracker” game aid clears up table clutter and makes recording hits and XP a cinch
• Figure and terrain agnostic – use anything you want
• D12 system – not a bucket of D6 or swinging D20 system

If this has piqued your interest then you might want to check out the neat Playthrough Video that the team put together showing off a sample turn of the game.

Additionally, there is an in-depth rundown of the thought process behind bringing this game to life on the Enderain website. It's nice to hear why designers decided to go down a particular route and why in particular they chose to get stuck into one mechanic or another. You can read that HERE!

Enderain Game Kit // Unboxing Video

The game certainly sounds interesting and I like the way the idea of the mechanics they have floated so far. Anyone who uses d12 in my book gets a tick to start with! The bonus addition of more in-depth rules for managing NPCs and AI also sounds fascinating and I like that there is a focus on making solo and cooperative play more challenging.

I am looking forward to getting a closer look at the rules and diving a bit deeper into this one! Oh, and if you'd like to join their community, you can also check out their Facebook Group!
