In Full Metal Planète, players act as mining companies on an unstable planet rich in ore. You command tanks, boats, barges, and mining equipment to collect as much ore as possible and evacuate it into orbit before the planet's destruction. Players face off against each other and the planet's dangerous tides. Turns are timed, and you allocate action points across your units, making irreversible moves under time pressure.
Who Is This Game For?
Full Metal Planète is aimed at experienced strategy gamers aged 12 and up who enjoy tactical depth combined with real-time mechanics. With a playtime around 90 minutes, it requires focus and quick decision-making. It's not a family game but suited to groups that appreciate complex interaction and strategic planning.
How It Works
The game uses an action point system where you distribute points among units like tanks and mining machines. Each player has limited time per turn, creating a real-time pressure to decide quickly. Actions include movement, mining, and transporting ore. Once executed, moves cannot be undone, adding to the tactical challenge.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Gérard Delfanti, Gérard Mathieu, and Pascal Trigaux in 1988, Full Metal Planète blends action points with real-time mechanics. It features detailed metal miniatures and a hex grid map. The sci-fi mining theme combined with timed turns sets it apart from many other tactical miniatures games.
