Welcome

So just what is Infinite Horizon?Infinite Horizon is a free board/miniatures game, in which players take control of an advanced, faster-than-light spacecraft, and set out into the far reaches of uncharted space. Rather than use pre-built game pieces, however, players are encouraged to create and customize their own playing pieces using LEGO or any other materials at hand. Likewise, the star system players will find themselves in will be similarly constructed from a series of randomly arranged cards, rather than a static playing board.

The game will be split into two forthcoming releases, beginning with Infinite Horizon: Fringewar, a rules-light skirmish game. Fringewar is a good introduction to the general mechanics of the game, while remaining quick and accessible for drop-in spaceship shooty action. Fringewar will be released in March 2013 as a downloadable PDF.

Later in the year will see the full release of Infinite Horizon, with expanded research, combat, and colonization options.

Wait, did you just say free?Yes, free! Upon release, all digital versions of Infinite Horizon will be released, free of charge, under the Creative Commons license. That means, rules, card templates, and other resources will be available for absolutely zero money at all.

So what’s the catch? Well…

The physical, complete box set of the game will still cost real actual money to purchase; no matter how much we here at Entropy 101 and Horizon Exports try, we simply cannot find a printing service willing to do pro bono work for the greater good. However, if you’re not too big into box sets and professionally printed cards and game pieces, you can rest assured that the digital versions contain exactly the same content; all anyone has to do is print out the cards and provide the tokens and dice themselves.

Still, in the interest of keeping us here at E101 and HorEX fed, there will be a “pay-what-you-want” option for those who would care to kick a little bit of extra scratch our way.

Sounds good to me, show me the stars!You got it! Simply click on the MENU tab above or follow this link. Over the next few months to release, we’ll be releasing little snippets of information, mechanics, and even a little bit of history about the world of 2108.

And always remember: at Horizon Exports, The Sky Is Not The Limit.
