20 Strong: Solar Sentinels Core Set

Product detailed description

20 Strong is a new deck-based game system from Chip Theory Games, capable of being played in about 30 minutes or less. We say “game system” because the idea behind 20 Strong is a small nucleus of simple, adaptable rules that can then be applied to a variety of unique decks, each with their own set of mechanics.

The object of a game of 20 Strong is to progress through a shuffled deck of cards, each card bearing a unique challenge. This challenge could be in the form of an enemy, a unique scenario, or some other requirement (for example, players of the Too Many Bones deck might expect to see a Lockpicking challenge or two). Challenges usually require a certain number of successes to complete, which you earn by rolling a set of 17 dice with different odds for a hit (these dice, along with three adjustable stat dice, make up the “20” in 20 Strong).

This version of Solar Sentinels comes with the core components for 20 Strong and the general rules of play. In the future, you’ll be able to play other 20 Strong decks while using the contents included here.

Moon bugs and Solar Sentinels!

Earth’s future is bleak. Despite harnessing the sun's power and siphoning plasma to advance technologically by leaps and bounds, the world faces an existential-level threat in the Horde. This encroaching alien species has set up a base beneath the surface of Earth’s moon, and these destructive moon bugs are preparing a final invasion to wipe out humanity.

The only thing standing between Earth and oblivion is a beleaguered fighting force known as the Solar Sentinels. Wielding the power of the sun and embarking on a last-ditch assault of the Horde’s lunar base, these brave Sentinels hope a surprise attack might destroy the Horde before it’s too late.

Solar Sentinels is a new property debuting in the 20 Strong game system, featuring a squad of stellar warriors fighting off an alien invasion. Players will select their sentinel and choose each round between one of three face-up opponents. They will deploy units to dispatch their enemies and collect rewards on their way to take down the alien leaders at the source of the invasion.
