Description

[Edit] [History]

Microgame #7 in the Metagaming Microgames series.

From the rule book

"Olympica simulates the U.N. Mars raid to capture the Web Mind Generator from a heavily defended area near Nix Olympica's massive caldera. The Webbie revolutionaries are deep in their tunnel complexes surrounded by strong points and infantry. The raiders will use infantry, laser tanks, lifters and the tunnel blasting BOAR drill. If they fail man's future may fall to the telepathic, religion/machine Web Mind of Mars."

"Olympica is the clever tactical creation of Lynn Willis. His future history of the Martian revolution of 2206 hinges on the crucial U.N. raid. The game is easy to learn, fast playing, and challenging. Like the other Microgames, it is ideal for beginners and fun for pros. Olympica is the perfect game for those who've never tried science fiction games."

"Components for the game include a 24 page rules booklet, play counters, and hex gridded map of the Nix Olympica region."
