MANAGE. EXPLORE. CONQUER.
In an ever-changing galaxy, it is up to you to secure a new home on distant worlds. Uncover alien artifacts, develop your planets and defend your colony at all costs!
ENERGY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
You’ll need to balance your Mothership’s power output between engines, weapons and shields.
RESEARCH YOUR TECH CAREFULLY
The Technology Tree is key to conquering the galaxy. But, you can’t research everything. Choose your path wisely.
POWER UP
Action Cards compliment your arsenal as powerful, single-use bonuses. Or, trade them in for Minerals and spend the resources on something else.
DIVERT ALL POWER TO FUN!
Mothership combines miniatures, strategy and dice combat games into an easy to pick up experience that everyone can enjoy. Control a fleet of ships and charge through the galaxy, capturing planets, building defences and amassing powerful technologies.
EXPLORE
Hiding in every planet are powerful alien artifacts that provide unique technology.
DEVELOP
Developing planets will bring your colony more riches and influence other planets to your cause.
EXPAND
Capture planets with rare moons that provide you with expanded development space and bonus resources.
THE SPACE COMBAT GAME YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
Race for planets, build space cannons and outmanoeuvre your enemy in exciting free-for-all or team battles. Eliminate other players with nail-biting finishes or experience action-packed Victory Point mode.
NEVER CONQUER THE SAME GALAXY TWICE

Sometimes, you want the flavour of a big, expansive tactical board game without having to spend three or four hours working through the rules. Mothership…understands this well.

A Pawn's Perspective
I would absolutely recommend this game to any avid tabletop gamer. The game is easy to learn, fun to play, and is truly unlike anything out there. With unique game mechanics to set this game apart, it had my attention from start to finish.

From design to production, Mothership raises the bar on indie Kickstarter games.

The Kickstarter campaign for Mothership caught my eye for one reason, and one reason alone: It’s a miniatures-based strategy board game with a blistering 40-minute playtime. That’s not possible, I thought to myself. But, lo and behold, designer Peter Sanderson has gone and done it.
