Current activities

• Adding the FINAL cards of The United Stars to the online game.
• Only 9 tickets missing to complete the online game before next step can be taken.
• Bad news in July 2022: my developer disappeared :(

Bad news: I worked on my extra time for around 3 years on creating this game spending more than 1000 hours and more than $40K of my personal money. There are 9 tickets remaining before the online game can be launched for real with deck building and competitive play. I no longer have any developer that can help me and I can no longer alone sink any more time or money on this game. I am looking for a partner such as a publisher or investor that is interested in the game which can help me take the next steps, contact me. The Space War is a really fantastic card game but doing all myself is an uphill battle and life is too short, I have a wife and 3 children as well which I value more than this game.
