Description

The Galactic Smorgasbord contains samples of game material from several works-in-progress for Star Fleet Battles, Federation and Empire , Prime Directive , and a new ground combat system called Star Fleet Assault. [1]

Reception

In the March 1996 edition of Arcane (Issue 4), James Swallow rated this a poor 5 out of 10 overall, saying, "It's up to each SFB player to decide if they think this is a worthwhile investment or a lazy collection of leftovers." [1]

In the August 1996 edition of Dragon (Issue #232), Rick Swan thought it was "sketchy in places", but admitted that it was "a bargain, allowing players to get a taste of an impressive variety of supplements without having to invest a fortune." [2]
