Alright.... I succumbed to months of desire and had Guardian Games order me a copy of BattleStations, which I just picked up today...
It's a boardgame role-playing experience unlike any other(if you're to believe what I've read). The players all create their own characters, and build a spaceship from all sorts of available modules(e.g. rooms such as Engine Room, Teleporter, Helm, etc.).
The modules form a floorplan of the ship, which is the board the characters move around on. Then there is another board which is a hex-grid of outer space, upon which the ship counter moves around. The team has to work cooperatively to operate the ship and complete missions.
Do you let go of the controls to return fire on the alien life form who has beamed itself into your location and is shooting his lasergun at you?
Please read more at the link above to BoardGameGeek.com, and get psyched, because I want to try it soon!
