Cerberus (board game)
Cerberus is a 1979 board game designed by Stephen V. Cole and published by Task Force Games.
Gameplay
It is the year 2094. Combined American-Russian forces, who had fought each other for dominance of the asteroid belt in Asteroid Zero-Four (also designed by Stephen Cole and published by Task Force Games),[1] now join forces to invade an alien planet.[2]
Reception
In the September 1979 edition of Dragon, Tim Kask found that although Cerberus was slightly more complex than Task Force Games's other offerings of the time, Starfire and Asteroid Zero-Four, it was "still relatively simple."[1]
In the November 1979 issue of The Space Gamer (Issue No. 33) Greg Wilson characterized it as "a solid game, playable and re-playable. While the occasionally-plodding pace makes it less than perfect for a blood-and-thunder player, I think it is well worth the money... All in all, Cerberus is a Recommended"[2]
