[[MuWorlds]], a way to play Homeworlds with a highly portable Mu deck.
 
[[StarRunners]] was designed to reduce the learning curve of Homeworlds. It's a single-stash roll-and-move race game that uses the Homeworlds star-to-star connection system, a mechanic that often confuses new players.
 
[[Homejinks]], a game that uses only one monochrome stash and a color dice to determine the power you can use during your turn. In this simplified Homeworlds game, your goal is to be the only player with ships, but star systems do not contain stars; where star ships gather that's a star system. '''Note.''' The discussion page relates an interesting variant played with a regular dice, that allows you to choose between two action colors.
 
[[Homeworlds Settlers]], an abstract strategy game where players vie for resources on a conquered Homeworld (thematic). It uses a full Homeworlds Set.
