Hi everyone! I designed the game Necronauts, and while not a Dakka Dakka frequenter (though I am a huge 40k fan), I thought you all might be interested, as the game has lots of minis, is sci-fi themed, and has a dark setting.



Necronauts is a dungeon-crawling board game, with miniatures, for 2-4 players with two competing sides: the Necronauts and the Deity of Death. There are up to three Necronaut players and one Deity of Death player. Each Necronaut Player has a squad of 2-4 Necronauts at their disposal. Each Necronaut is a miniature wargaming unit with equipment, items, spells, and weaponry drafted before the game begins.

The Necronauts are tasked with entering the Realm of Death and gathering Knowledge of Death cards by completing objectives and sub-objectives, and gathering magical artifacts.

The Deity of Death is chosen from a pool of individual evil death gods, and one player alone controls the Deity, opposing all Necronaut squads. The Deity’s task is simple: kill the Necronauts. The Deity must use Deity Cards to hamper and destroy the Necronauts, as well as utilizing summoned monsters. All Deity cards and monsters are unique to each individual Deity.

Necronauts takes place within the Realms of Death, the outer dimension of pure Death, wherein the Necronauts must find their coveted Knowledge of Death and attempt to escape with their lives. Each Realm of Death is a unique, pre-designed game board. Realms of Death have hazards which the Necronauts must endure in attempt to complete each Realm's unique objective, and travel to the next Realm, or escape them entirely. If the Necronauts collect enough knowledge and survive, they win, whereas if they are killed, the Deity wins.



I would post the full box contents here, but it's quite a large image!
