Our take on Lew Pulsipher's Doomstar
Rather than revealing the battlefield state, Doomstar makes uncertainty central to its board-game structure: each player knows their own fleet while hunting the opponent’s Command Ship. The result replaces broad conquest with a focused deduction contest between two fleets.
What is Lew Pulsipher's Doomstar?
Doomstar is a two-player strategy board game built around concealed ship identities.
Each player sees the identity of their own vessels but must locate the opponent’s Command Ship and destroy it. Ships have different movement rules and abilities, so fleet positioning and deduction shape each battle. Play against AI opponents in a single-player campaign featuring four opponents, or compete against friends and online opponents through asynchronous multiplayer. Fleets and boards can be customized to vary the setup. The game also includes a five-song soundtrack, Steam Achievements, and Steam Trading Cards.
