Light Speed is a lightning-fast card game of space combat about identical teams of spaceships dropping out of hyperspace to do battle over an extremely important asteroid. This game is fast: each round takes less than a minute to play! (With a few minutes to score.)

Tom Jolly, master game designer, brings us this fast-paced space combat game for 2-4 players. Each player has just 10 ships to play as quickly and strategically as he can. Once a player has run out of ships, the playing round ends and the shooting begins. Fast ships shoot first, big ships shoot last, and whoever scores the most points wins! A thrilling real-time card game in full color, a first for Hip Pocket games.

 

3/7/2003 - Per the 2/28/2003 update on Cheapass Games website, Light Speed and a second new Hip Pocket game Steam Tunnel were shipping that week.  It later mentions "Light Speed is the first full-color Hip Pocket Game, featuring four teams of spaceships in a lightning-fast card game."
