It is set in the universe of [[Twilight Imperium]], a [[board game]] made by the same company. The game is playable for 2-8 players, and is described as "a game of screaming space battles". The first edition was printed in 1998.

The goal of the game is to destroy opponents' flagships after destroying their protective layer of attack ships. Once the flagship is destroyed, the player is eliminated from the game. The last player left with their flagship intact is declared the winner.


Each player receives a flagship card which is placed at the center of that player's battle formation. The flagship is surrounded on four sides by various other kinds of ships which are able to mount attacks on other players' fleets. This is done by firing 3 different kinds of lasers at opposing ships in the corresponding sector; for example, if Player A has a ship in the left-quadrant of his battle formation, he may fire upon any enemy ship which is also in the left-quadrant of their battle formation. Laser shots are made using Attack Cards. Each player draws up to five attack cards per turn.

Instead of having one flagship and 4 ships, you start the game with 2 Flags and 8 Ships, as well as 10 cards in your hand.

===Rapid Play!!!===
* GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
Instead of Moving, Shooting and Reinforcing in succession, all players may declare anything at anytime in their move (Eg - Instead of finishing the movement phase, the players may wish to move at the end, as well as shooting at any time during their turn).
* GRAND DAD 3: THE GAUNTLET OF ASS (FEATURING SMOL NOZOMI, TITO DICKMAN, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SANS UNDERTALE)

===Scout Tactics!!!===
GRAND DAD IS LOVE
Scouts have movement two, some GMs allow scouts to move to an adjacent flank, shoot, then move back (As long as GM is letting Rapid play rules).
GRAND DAD IS LIFE
 
GRAND DAD WILL CONQUER THIS WIKI
===Spacefleet Armada!!!===

The most sophisticated playing rules ever;

SILVAGUNNER
Each player controls two fleets
[[Category: Meme]][[Category: GRAND DAD]][[Category: GRAND DAD Fantasy]][[Category: Awesome]]
One player must fight another player from the opposing team
Each fleet may only attack one opposing fleet, the two fleets may only attack each other
Effectively, 4 individual games are played
When a fleet is knocked out, the fleet that destroyed it may attack any fleet it wants until the end of the game, or it is destroyed

THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.

CHANNELS

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

EVENTS

The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene. These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as GRAND FEST was hosting PREMIERES for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC 69, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES

Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE seem to have been most active between 2012 and 2019.

  • GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
  • GRAND DAD 3: THE GAUNTLET OF ASS (FEATURING SMOL NOZOMI, TITO DICKMAN, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SANS UNDERTALE)
  • GRAND DAD 4: GRAND DAD IS GOD
  • GRAND DAD 5: DEATH TO 1D4CHAN

GRAND DAD IS LOVE GRAND DAD IS LIFE GRAND DAD WILL CONQUER THIS WIKI FOR MEMES FOR VINESAUCE AND FOR SILVAGUNNER
