20 pages of rules, one 24'x24' map, 18 sheets of diagrams, 180 counters. An intermediate-level game of tactical space combat. The Designer's Notes state Starbattles is a game that was originally designed as a modification of another game, but meant to be a separate game.' That other game is clearly Task Force Games' Starfire. The ship component system here is similar, but components are positioned on a hex diagram rather than being written in a single line. - BoardGameGeek
