Bring the iconic Koprulu Sector conflict to your tabletop with StarCraft: The Miniatures Game – 2 Player Starter Box (Founder's Edition) by Archon Studio. Officially licensed by Blizzard Entertainment, this tactical tabletop wargame captures the fast-paced, real-time strategy intensity of StarCraft in a physical 32mm skirmish format.

Designed for 2 players with session lengths of 60 to 120 minutes, the Founder's Edition includes everything needed for immediate tactical drops. Command high-detail plastic miniatures representing Terran forces and Zerg swarms across modular terrain, managing mineral and vespene gas resources, base tech trees, unit upgrades, and positional tactical combat.

Real-Time Strategy Meets Tabletop Wargaming

For over two decades, Blizzard's StarCraft franchise defined competitive real-time strategy. StarCraft: The Miniatures Game translates that core loop—scouting, base expansion, resource harvesting, tech progression, and tactical micro-management—into a rich, head-to-head physical wargame experience.

In this Founder's Edition starter box, players take command of two legendary factions locked in brutal planetary conflict: the stubborn, heavily armored Raynor's Raiders (Terran) and the relentless biological army of the Koprulu Zerg Swarm.

Signature Mechanics & Base-Building Engine

Archon Studio incorporates key RTS video game mechanics directly into tabletop action:

• Resource & Tech Management: Allocate SCVs or Drones to harvest Minerals and Vespene Gas. Spend harvested resources during combat turns to tech up your Command Center/Hatchery, build addon structures, and unlock advanced unit tiers.
• Unit Upgrades & Abilities: Equip units with iconic special abilities—from Terran Marine Stimpacks and Siege Tank Siege Mode transformations to Zergling Metabolic Boost and Hydralisk Grooved Spines.
• Dynamic Command Decks: Tactical order cards drive unit activation, combat responses, and unexpected battlefield stratagems.
• Hard plastic Miniatures: High-impact, multi-part 32mm HIPS plastic miniatures created using Archon's state-of-the-art tooling technology.

Founder's Edition Contents

The Founder's Edition is packed with exclusive starter assets: high-detail Terran and Zerg plastic miniatures, modular plastic terrain/structures, neoprene gaming mat, range rulers, custom dice, resource tokens, command cards, unit reference sheets, and a comprehensive rulebook with narrative scenarios.
