Jovian Frontier is a strategic, territory control tabletop game that allows players to bluff and deceive their way to world domination.

4 players take on the roles of rival faction leaders competing across a hexagonal map of planets, moons, and space stations within the Jovian System.

The game is built around simultaneous decision making. Players can secretly deploy units and commit to actions before revealing their choices, making prediction and deception essential to success.

A central mechanic is the morale system, representing the stability of a faction. This directly influences the survival of players in the game and can be directly manipulated by enemy players.

The game was created solely by me as part of the first module of my University course.

A physical prototype of the game was created using 3d printed pieces as well as a digital version within Tabletop Simulator.
