Horizon's End! is a science fiction play by mail wargame published by Schubel & Son.
Gameplay Horizon's End! was an open-ended wargame published by Schubel & Son.Muir 1987. p. 16. This science-fiction game was of medium complexity and had mixed moderation—a mix of hand and computers.McLain 1984. p. 43. The game was set on a colony world after widespread conflict destruction." Rather than large-scale war, the game was "a nitty-gritty, grub-in-the-dirt game, where a large proportion of your time is spent rummaging for fuel, food, and ammunition" according to reviewer John Muir.
At the outset, each of the game's twenty players chose the focus of their group: combat or trade. This determined the funding, personnel, weapons, and vehiclesthe group would have.
Reception In 1987, John Muir praised the game's logistics system while noting that the minor role of non-player characters was a flaw.Muir 1987. p. 19. He described the game as enjoyable with "playing potential and offer[ing] a variety of options".
