Reception
editSteve Nutt reviewedStarship Duel IforImaginemagazine, and stated that "Despite its initial oddity, the game is easy to play. one great advantage is that there is no game board to speak of. If you Blu-tacked the counters to your control board you could easily play the game on a bus or train, for example. The game's major drawback is that it is very expensive for what you get."[2]
