Stronghold Games has announced plans to release three new game titles for the Space Cadets line of games, and for promotional awareness, has dubbed 2014 "The Year of Space Cadets." All three releases will arrive in late Q3/Q4.
Stronghold released the original Space Cadets board game in 2012 (see "'Space Cadets' Board Game") and released a stand-alone dice game Space Cadets: Dice Duel set in the same universe last year (see "Stronghold's Summer Game Releases").
Space Cadets: Away Missions is a new standalone game. The cooperative, tactical game is thematically a prequel to the original Space Cadets. Players are astronauts exploring outside their ships, fighting hostile aliens, exploring UFOs, and acquiring alien technology around the modular hexagonal map tiles. The game contains 15 scenarios linked in a campaign story arc. The game is for 1 – 6 players. Tentative MSRP is $59.95.
Space Cadets: Dice Duel- Die Fighter is an expansion for Space Cadets: Dice Duel. The expansion includes two new play modes for the team play, dice-rolling, real-time combat game. "Carrier Strike" mode gives each team a second ship on the board--a faster, more maneuverable, but fragile Fighter-class ship. With this mode, the game can now support up to 10 players. "Fighter Duel" mode is for two-player head-to-head combat. Tentative MSRP is $29.95.
Space Cadets: Resistance is Mostly Futile is the first expansion for the original Space Cadets game. The expansion includes new missions, new enemies, new map tiles with new hazards, and a new P.A.N.I.C. button which allows players new options if things aren’t going as expected. Tentative MSRP is $19.95.
Stronghold is releasing two other games in April (see "'Rogue Agent' and 'Voluspa' Expansion").
