Quantum Board Game - Coming To The US In Q4

After an agreement between Seattle-based Passport Game Studios and Funforge, Eric Zimmerman's Quantum board game will finally make it to North America. While still at the prototype stage and with the title Armada d6, Quantum won the 2012 Game Design Award at the IndieCade Festival of Independent Games.

Quantum uses an area control mechanic and modular game boards that can be arranged in one of the 30 layouts that come with the game (or in any number of new configurations) to create a fascinating and infinitely variable game that combines both military and economic (building) strategies.  Each player is a fleet commander from one of four factions of humanity struggling to control a sector of space. Players win by constructing Quantum Cubes - massive planetary energy extractors. Each time a player constructs a Quantum Cube, he or she can expand her fleet, add a new ability, or make a special move.

With elegant mechanics, infinite scenarios, and easy-to-learn rules leading to deep gameplay,  Quantum is a one-of-a-kind game of space combat and strategy that will appeal to both hard-core and casual players.
