ANTEMATTER is a mashup of space strategy and cosmic poker, set in the Engine Star Universe. Command a crew of space pirates, privateers and smugglers as you plot a course around the Conflux and rack up a fortune in Nephelium Chips. Then take your ill-gotten gains and face off in hands of space-twisted Texas Holdem. Leverage your crews unique abilities on the board to stay one step ahead of your foes and to cheat them out of their chips at the poker table.

The Standard Edition includes: Game Board, 200 Casino-Quality Clay Poker Chips, 1 Poker Card Deck (deck of 56), 6 Fleets (7 pieces per fleet), 6 Unique Crew Card Decks (decks of 25), 6 Planet Game Pieces, 1 Enigmata Card Deck (deck of 15), 30 Cargo Pieces, 6 Dive Tokens, 6 Tokens of Respect, 1 Dealer & Turn Marker, and 1 Manual.

Description

Antematter is the first and only poker strategy board game. 3-6 players enter a lore rich universe and take command of a unique crew of spacefarers, each vying to plunder, smuggle, gamble and bluff their way to supremacy. Featuring a blend of Texas Hold Em poker and strategy gaming, Antematter is a true genre-buster with something for everyone.

Players choose one of six crews to command. Each crew has its own deck of “crew cards,” which can be used in game to gain advantages on your opponents (more on that later). Each round of play is divided into loot and poker phases. During the loot phase, players maneuver their three ships around the board, collecting salvage and cargo as they go. Once everyone has moved, players have the opportunity to further their ill gotten gains with a round of Texas hold ’em.

First player to 4,000 credits wins.
