[[Image:BinaryHomeworlds-topology2.png|thumb|left| A less common topology puts the homeworlds nearer each other]] Binary Homeworlds differs from the original multi-player Homeworlds in that it discards the [[Werewolf]] aspect; the game is simply a fight to the death between two players. The topology of a Binary Homeworlds game is simpler than the [[Homeworlds_strategy#Galactic_Topography:_The_Shape_of_the_Game|topology of a multi-player game]], because there are at most two binary stars. If the two players choose homeworlds of different sizes, then the galaxy can be laid out in rows between the two players so that movement "toward" and "away from" a homeworld maps directly onto movement across the table.
