Star Chamber (game)
|
|
Star Chamber is an online collectible card game (CCG) from Nayantara Studios released in 2003.
One of the game's main attractions is that it combines traditional CCG elements (card collecting and trading, deck building, etc.) with a star map, unit production and planet conquest, a bit like the classic Master of Orion series.
Matches (1 on 1 only, as of Jan, 2004, with a multiplayer option unofficially announced) are usually fast, on average requiring half an hour to complete.
There are three ways to win a game: Military (taking over the opponent's homeworld), Cultural (having a "destiny point" advantage of 30 or more points) and Political (having 3 "power play" victories at the Star Chamber itself, which is a central planet where no battles can take place, and where elections take place every 6 turns). Contrary to many other similar games (both CCGs and computer strategy games), the game is almost never "all but won", and last minute comebacks are frequent.
