Starmada™ is a miniatures board game of starship combat. At its most basic level, players take command of space fleets in a general attempt to reduce each other to just so much space junk. At its most advanced, the game can be customized to breathe life into any science fiction background that players might imagine.
Novices shouldn’t fret; the core set of rules has been designed with simplicity and ease of play in mind, accessible even to beginners. On the other hand, seasoned veterans should find the concise nature of the rules quite refreshing. It allows players to concentrate on the finer points of squashing their opponents rather than arguing about rules interpretations, without sacrificing any of the flavor or excitement of more complex games.
Simple, but not simplistic, is the guiding principle.
A new 30th Anniversary update was released in December 2024, streamlining many of the rules.
A Captain’s Companion expansion is also available
A Basic rules versions call Cadet’s Manual is also available as a “pay with you want” purchase.

This book is full of new rules, weapon traits, and starship systems to further build out the STARMADA game. In addition, this product includes not one, but two complete games: FLEET OPS and THE SOVEREIGN STARS.
Following this, rules are provided to integrate with the Victory by Any Means strategic game. Finally, the universe is expanded by the addition of two more fleets to pit against the Imperial Starmada: the proud Kinslaugh Clans and the inscrutably alien F’toi.
