The Base Game

The Classic Game of War with an out of this world twist.

$3.00 download

Space War in Space repurposes the saying “War. War never changes” to suggest that sometimes, War does change, and it changes for the better. Why use a lifeless deck of cards and pretend to control a vast army of bloodthirsty savages when you can pick what bloodthirsty savage best represents your basest, most conquering desires? Send your army into the far arms of the galaxy to prove you’re the one to rule. Utilize your Factions strengths and carefully honed Powers to see your enemies driven before you. To hear the lamentations of their women. And children. And close relatives. Experience War the way it was meant to be experienced.

In Space.

Set Contains 77 cards including:

The Epic Campaign Expansion

You fought the War. Now it's time to Conquer.

$1.00 download

Until now, The Long War had been contained, felt only in skirmishes and contests as the Factions of The Weave vied for power. With The Epic Campaign Expansion for Space War in Space, the true scope of The Long War can finally be realized. Fight for control of valuable Planets, Space Stations, and Moons, entrenching your armies in strategic Locations and using their unique Abilities to strengthen your claim.

Leave home. See the universe. And conquer it.

Set Contains 18 locations and the Epic Campaign Expansion Rules

The Academic and the Arcane

The Universe expands with 4 new Factions

$2.00 download

The Academic and the Arcane. Two sides of the same coin. Both hungry for the pursuit of knowledge. The pursuit of understanding. The pursuit of power. In their hallowed and unhallowed halls they open their books, slipping past dust and covers and vellum to reveal something far greater than themselves. But these quiet towers of learning were finally shaken by the war, a war that had spared them until now. Four Factions once untouched by the long conflict are now forced to put down their tomes and join the fray in pursuit of knowledge from perhaps the most important book of all: The Art of War.

Set Contains 52 cards including:

Frequently Asked Questions

What's Grown Men Games?

Founded by Ryan Parrish and Joe Dallacqua, Grown Men Games believes board games serve to build community and tell stories. We create games not only reflective of those principles, but of our own desire to push the hobby in newly accessible directions. And (hopefully) make money doing it.

What's a Print and Play game?

Print & Play (versions of) games are not published in a physical form. Instead, the rules and (most) components are available in a digital format, and players are expected to print them off and assemble them themselves. Often, some additional, non-printable components are required as well.

Why Print and Play?

Production of physical games is expensive, particularly for a small studio. As a result, buying phyiscal games from a small studio can be expensive. We want Space War to reach as many people as possible, and Print and Play is an inexpensive and easy option for people who love games and want to try something new.

Can I get a physical copy?

We successfully launched a Kickstarter for the Base Set that had a physical production run and we loved it. It's possible we may do this again in the future as we grow, for now - if you're really excited about the prospect of a physical copy of Space War reach out to joe@grownmengames.com and we'll see what we can do for you!
