"WorldWorks
Games is proud to present Wormhole
, a groundbreaking space-combat game. Why
groundbreaking? Because Wormhole
is the only such game that allows anyone
to build up a massive fleet without
spending hundreds of dollars on expensive
miniatures and rulebooks. You don't even
have to wait for shipping to get your
hands on it, because Wormhole
is a completely digital product which you
download from home, print,
build and play! We've included everything
you need in an easy-to-navigate package,
stepping you through the entire process
from planning your game to building your
fleet.
REPLACING
ITEMS MADE EASY
Ever lose or damage a card, a token, or
some other vital piece to a game before,
having to replace it with a cheesy-looking
stand-in or buy the whole thing over
again? Not with Wormhole!
Every element can be printed, or reprinted
as needed.
NO
MORE PAINTING! AND NO MORE EXPENSIVE LEAD!
How long has it been the case where you
have two choices... you can play a
space-based game with simple, unattractive
little cardboard or plastic tokens, or you
can play a game with beautifully detailed
miniatures that you have to buy, assemble,
and either fly around "in the grey,"
spend hours painting, or hire someone else
to paint for you (at added expense)? Not
with Wormhole! The vessels
in the Sathrican fleet are all
highly-detailed and beautiful pieces of
work, but they're also easy to print and
assemble. Best of all, when you want
to expand your fleet, you print out a few
more pages and add them!
FOCUS
ON FUN AND IMMERSION
And the game itself... no lengthy,
complicated charts and forms here. We've
seen space-based games that have all the
fun of filling out tax forms and taking an
advanced statistics test rolled into one. Wormhole
isn't that way! The focus is on the fun,
on spending less time making calculations
and more time doing what you came here to
do... blow up enemy fleets! The
bookkeeping is accomplished in an
innovative, visual manner that isn't like
anything you've ever seen before. Flip a
switch, rotate a cube, and the battle goes
on! That's not to say there is no
complexity in the game - in fact, we've
scaled the rules so that you can add
levels of depth as you become more
comfortable with the mechanics."

- Worldworks Games produces
mainly files for you to buy so you can
make your own cardstock models for terrain
or other gaming products. They are
currently working on a spaceship combat
game called Project: Wormhole
which will include paper models for you
to print and assemble, a sample ship is
pictured to the right (click on the
image for a larger version). The
largest ships will be 12 inches
long. As a ship takes damage,
sections of the ship can be removed.
Basically Wormhole will
be a 2D space combat game where the
player is the commander of a fleet of
starships. Features are a focus on
the costs to deploy reinforcements
during a game and the accumulation of
command points which can be used later
for special actions. Typical games
should last 1 hour with larger games
going 2-3 hours.
