About the game

What is Solar Titans?

In Solar Titans, you take command of a capital ship in the Orion Centauri system and must prepare for battle with opposing vessels. Upgrade your ship, manage your crew, and engage in deep tactical combat. Keep your ship intact and adapt as the situation escalates to emerge victorious! Solar Titans combines deckbuilding and tableau mechanics, letting you design your capital ship card-by-card. Your ship layout determines its combat capabilities and vulnerabilities. You play crew cards from your hand to fire your ship weapons, modify your ship, or purchase upgrades from a dynamic market. Patch critical systems, reroute defenses, and take down your opponent's command deck to win! With six distinct game modes, Solar Titans offers tense solo and co-op boss battles against powerful AI ships, and competitive duels for up to 4 players — including an epic 2v2 format with massive titan-class vessels. The Definitive Edition adds 16 new market cards with all-new strategic plays, rebalanced solo mode with an improved rulebook, and an upgraded box and custom insert for smoother play and storage. —description from the publisher
