SPACE HULK - 4 Player Game

Ruleset: Space Hulk

 

This was a 4 player game, 3 Space Marine players, and one Horror player.

 

The map was something I made up, and it was the first game we have played of Space Hulk were we didn't use an official scenario.

 

Well, the Space Marines got slaughtered. Not one of the players the first two games made it a third of the way to the objective. We cut down the blips showing up in half, which made things closer, but still was a slaughter.

 

Before the game we did talk about how this was going to be a test run to see how the map played and to keep in mind how to keep the game balanced. We did play the heck out of the game that night and had much discussion about how to balance it.

 

There is talk about running this game at conventions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is a pretty good shot of the nights typical ending for the Space Marines.

Our group was able to borrow this game two years ago and got to play it a few times. Personally, I fell in love with this game. This game and playing this game can be tense. On the Space Marine side your moves are timed, so you have to complete your turn fast, and bad moves can be deadly. The success you are having can turn on a dime, and that means in the game your Marines are being ripped to shreds.

 

If on a table top you ever wanted to recreate the scene in Aliens where the Marines are in the lair of the enemy and trying to survive by fire power, this is the game.

 

When we borrowed the game, it was out of production and the cost to purchase a used copy was around $350. So at the time I decided to make and build a custom set that could accommodate 6 or so players instead of the 2 with the purchased version.

 

So two years later, my custom set finally hit the table and we got two games in.

 

We've done some things to try to up the pressure and intensity of the game for the players. The timer is now very thrashy and heavy metal music, when the song is done your turn is up. The room is dimmed and there are multiple alert lights. We've done a few more things as well as liquoring up before we start.
