Cerberus

Cerberus is a science fiction board wargame published by Task Force Games in 1979. Description Cerberus is a two-player wargame in which one player controls human forces, while the other player controls Cetian forces. The game is set in the year 2094, following the events in the previous Task Force Games wargame Asteroid Zero-Four. The Russian and American forces who had fought each other for control of the asteroid belt in the previous game now discover a warp point that allows them to jump to Proxima Centauri and invade an alien planet. Gameplay The game uses a standard "I Go, You Go" system of alternating turns, where one player moves and attacks, followed by the other player. Special Forces can be used to disrupt spaceports, destroy supplies and support ground troops. Publication history In the late 1970s, Task Force Games published a number of microgames in the "Pocket Game" line — games packaged in ziplock bags — including Asteroid Zero-Four in 1979, and its sequel Cerberus later the same year. Both games were designed by Stephen V. Cole and featured artwork by Alvin Belflower and Allen D. Eldridge.
