We are proud and happy to introduce Quantum, a game by Eric Zimmerman published by Funforge.

Because one good news never comes alone, we are happy to announce at the same time that Quantum is now available again in your shop or on the Funforge online store. You know what you have to do :)

Quantum is an addictive space conquest game for 2-4 players. You command a fleet of spaceships, and you try to use them to be the first to place all your "Quantum cubes" on the board.

Spaceships of this game are a little special: they are represented by dice on the board. Each die value correspond to a spaceship type, and gives its move value and its combat value. For example: a "1" die correspond to a "Battle station" which moves slowly but is very powerful. In contrast, a "6" die corresponds to a "Scout" which moves fast but is weak in battle. In addition, each spaceship has a special ability. For example, a "2" spaceship has a "Transport" ability and can embed another die during its move.

To place a Quantum cube, you need to place your spaceships in orbit around a planet so that the sum of all dice values corresponds exactly to the planet's value. For example, to place a cube on a planet with a 8 value, you may use a "3" die and a "5" die, or two "4" dice.

But placing your dice in orbit is not so easy! First, on each turn you can only do a maximum of 3 actions (moving, placing a Quantum cube, deploying a previously destroyed spaceship, researching new technology to improve your fleet), and placing a Quantum cube costs you 2 actions. Second, your opponents won't let you place cubes without a fight, because there is a limited number of available spaces for cubes on each planet.

Quantum is a great and addictive game. The 3 possible actions, combined with the "special abilities" and "improvement" cards give you a lot of possibilities on your turn, so each turn is indeed a new challenge to win the cube race.

If you want to learn how to play, we recommend the "Watch it played" video below.

The Quantum adaptation for Board Game Arena has been developed by Pierre Scelles using BGA Studio: yet another great adaptation from Pierre, thank you so much!

And of course, BGA would like to thank the Funforge team for this excellent game, for the remarkable quality of all their games, and for their authorization to have this game here on BGA.

It's nice, best of 3 or 4 players. (in BGA not a lot because hasn't a tie breaker for the "losers").
