Cerberus (2016)

ByMichail

Cerberus

Cerberus is a science fiction board wargame published by Task Force Games in 1979. It is a two-player game in which one player controls human forces, while the other player controls alien forces. The game is set on a planet that is fully accessible, and a lot of different troops are available. The game has a strategic dimension, but the pace is operational, with weekly turns, fewer units, and more powerful weapons.

Why is Cerberus Popular?

Cerberus is a solid game that is playable and replayable. It has a fascinating theme of conquering a full planet, and the game is well worth the money. The game is significant because it is one of the earliest science fiction board wargames published.
