Task Force Games
open-in-new
<h2 id="reception">Reception</h2> <p>In a retrospective review of the <i>Pocket Games</i> line in <i><a href="/facts/Black_Gate_(magazine)/AnAhE6qo">Black Gate</a></i>, John ONeill said "Task Force Games had a huge hit with their Pocket games line. Shipped in zip locks bags (eventually shrinkwrap), and priced at $3.95, the games were designed to be easy to learn and quick to play. All told they released twenty-two, all but three with science fiction or fantasy themes, including many that are still highly regarded today."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="https://www.boardgamegeek.com/company/352">Task Force Games</a> at <a href="/facts/BoardGameGeek/WrBg3VAS">BoardGameGeek</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.starfleetgames.com">Starfleet Battles</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Swan, Rick (1990).
