Cerberus (board game)

[1] The Russian and American forces who had fought each other for control of the asteroid belt in the previous game now discover a warp point that allows them to jump to Proxima Centauri and invade an alien planet.

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.

Olivier concluded, "Cerberus has a fascinating theme: conquer a full planet, but the scale, for me, is not optimal: you’ve got a strategic game with an operational pace.
