Sigma Omega

Modern Conquest and War Games

Sigma Omega is a 1979 board game published by Game Technology. It is a tactical board game built around a science fiction space combat simulation. The Wikipedia article gives limited detail on specific mechanics beyond the tactical simulation theme, but Forrest Johnson's contemporary review in The Space Gamer (No. 28, May-June 1980) described the rulebook as complex, saying the instructions read like instructions for a nuclear reaction and contained some confusing errors, while still predicting the game would probably have a cult following for some years to come among dedicated wargame enthusiasts willing to work through its challenging ruleset.
