Since 2000, Canine Troopers (fan expansion for Starship Troopers) has captivated fans of dice rolling with its medium-light complexity design.

How It Plays

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Hexagon Grid

The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.

Hidden Movement

One player moves secretly while others try to track them down — it's like a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase.

Line of Sight

Your units can only interact with what they can directly see on the board — positioning matters a lot.

Movement Points

You get a set number of movement points to spend on moving your pieces — plan your path carefully.

Secret Unit Deployment

You place your units face-down so opponents don't know what you've got — the reveal is always exciting.
