Space Woofs

Space Woofs is an asymmetrical game where players choose their side: on one side are the Barx and on the other are the Phoenix.
The Barx team monitors the prison and must hold out until reinforcements arrive in case of an attack. The Phoenix team, on the other hand, must successfully exfiltrate all the prisoners.


Setup:

– Indicate the teams on OLEM
– Place OLEM on the board and follow its instructions to build the level
– The Barx team places their prisoners
– The Phoenix team places their infiltration points
– The Barx team places their guards and specializes them in close combat or ranged combat
– The Phoenix team distributes their mercenaries across the different infiltration points

Gameplay:

The game is played in turns, with a time limit for each player.

Infiltration Phase:

Only the Phoenix team plays during this phase. The Barx team can only control OLEM’s movements.

Alert Phase:

The Phoenix team triggers the alarm when they shoot a Barx character (including OLEM) or interact with the control room. The alarm is then raised, and the Barx team can play.

Turn Execution:

For each player character, the following actions can be performed once per turn:
– Movement
– Attack (melee or ranged)
– Interaction with the control room: opening or closing prison doors
– Taking a prisoner: the prisoner serves as a shield to the player and can be placed in front of or behind them
– Entrusting a prisoner: transferring a prisoner to a character on an adjacent square

Note: For the Phoenix team, the faster you are on your turn, the more time you save on the global timer.

KO Character:

A KO mercenary takes a full turn before reappearing at an infiltration point. All Barx guards must be KO’d to reappear at guard generators after a full turn. Barx players can self-destruct their characters on their turn.

End of Game:

The Phoenix team wins if all prisoners are exfiltrated or if a prisoner is killed by a Barx character. The Barx team wins if the countdown reaches zero (Barx reinforcements arrive), if all characters of the Phoenix team are KO’d, or if a prisoner is killed by a Phoenix character.
OLEM:

Movements:

At each intersection, the Barx team must indicate a direction by passing their hand in front of the corresponding sensor. If they take too long, OLEM chooses a random direction. OLEM crushes anyone in its path.
Interactions:

It is possible to attack OLEM. However, it has 24 defense points and 24 attack points. It will retaliate by attacking the nearest attacking character. OLEM has only one life point. If OLEM is destroyed, the squares it occupies become impassable.
