What is ZP?

Ziggeraut Prime is a tabletop strategy game where 2-4 (or more!) players pit themselves against each other in tactical combat. You begin by creating a unique Murder - a team of prisoners banded together for survival and comradery - or by choosing a pre-made Murder for quickplay with friends.

Stranded on the Galaxy's prison planet of Ziggeraut Prime, your Murder's actions are constantly being watched as fights and events are filmed for the Galaxy's most popular game-show, hosted and run by callous and maniacal A.I. that are loyal only to increasing their show's Ratings. Worse still, all the mayhem attracts nameless creatures from beyond the inky void between stars to cultivate and feast on the misery of your dying fighters.

Raise your Murder's game-show ratings by competing with other players to complete randomized scenarios for each encounter and vie for resources to control the most feared (or just last surviving) Murder in the Galaxy!
