	Games - Rocketmen

Rocketmen is a Wizkids produced constructible strategy game released in August of 2005. Part of its marketing included animated adventures based on the character of Nick Sion, a rebel and adventurer facing the evil alliance of Terra and Mars.

Description

Similar to Wizkids's sailing-themed Pirates of the Spanish Main, Rocketmen is a game featuring spaceships constructed from styrene cards purchased in randomly assorted booster packs. Ships can be customized with various crew and equipment configurations, all of which are used to construct a single fleet. A single booster pack can contain enough for a basic game (two ships, a crew card, a resource card, an asteroid card, a die, and a rules booklet), but the maximum customizability requires access to a wider collection.

Ship Types include:

Fighter Squadrons
Rocketships
Cruisers
Space Stations
Harvesters

Pod Types include:

Arc Laser (red)
Shields (blue)
Tractor Beam (purple)

In addition, there are asteroid cards used as a home base during most scenarios. There are also resource chips (called microids) used to construct ships held in reserve in certain games, or as victory points in others.

Factions

Legion of Terra
Venus
Mars
Rebels
Mercury

Sets

Axis of Evil - Base set.
Battle of Titans - Released December 2005. This set introduced the factions of Saturn, Io, and Ganymede. It also added the Tractor Beam pod type (purple), the Harvester ship and Torpedos.
