Annihilator & One World

Annihilator & One World is a 1980 package of two board wargames published by Metagaming Concepts.

Gameplay

Oneworld has a diceless combat system. Annihilator is a wargame where one player sends a small force of space soldiers into a huge, robot planetkiller."[1]

Reception

David Ritchie reviewed Annihilator / One World in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 2 out of 9.[2] Ritchie commented that "The result is a nicely balanced game which almost succeeds in overcoming the flimsiness of its premise. The two games are playable in one-half to three-quarters of an hour."[2]

Denis Loubet reviewed Annihilator & One World in The Space Gamer No. 28.[1] Loubet commented that "Oneworld seems to take itself too seriously, and I don't know whether to believe the introduction or not. The counter mix is sort of unbalanced; the fog counters are of little worth, while the blades are the main attacking force." He also commented that "Annihilator is just too small a game; there's not enough there. If there were more and different counters and a more complex and varied map, it might have the popularity of Ogre, but as it stands it's too small."[1]
