Talon Board Game

"Talon" is a tactical game of space fleet combat between the Terran Confederation and the invading Talonthincanthanadu - Talon - Empire.

Games that do space fleet combat often have to super simplify the capabilities of a ship and the damage it can take (making it more like a fighter) or have large log sheets and cards that have to be referenced for each ship, making it very cumbersome to handle large fleets. This game allows you to have your cake and eat it too. By having all of the information on a ship displayed directly on the counter, the size of the fleet almost does not matter. The game is very visual and everything can be seen on the map.

By giving each ship a Power Curve, the unrealistic, long-term planning and referencing that bogs down similar games is simplified, though players are still allowed (and encouraged) to prioritize ship functions. Using a map with laminated counters rather than miniatures allows fleet movement became very simple and quick.

Talon is a game which is fast-paced, thematic, requires meaningful decision making, and - importantly - is fun to play. Despite the subject, this game will not burn your brain, but will make you agonize over choices.
