'''''Infinity''''' (also known as '''''Infinity the Game''''') is a complex tabletop [[Miniature wargaming|miniature wargame]] with 28mm scale metal miniatures that simulates combat and special operations in a [[Science fiction]] environment created by Gutier Lusquiños Rodríguez, Alberto Abal, Fernando Liste and Carlos Torres of [[Corvus Belli]]. The games aesthetics are largely inspired by [[Manga]], particularly the work of [[Masamune Shirow]].
Each player controls a set of miniatures to represent [[soldiers]] on a tabletop [[wikt:battlefield|battlefield]], taking actions during play to achieve their set goals and prevent their opponent from achieving theirs, while also seeking to destroy their opponents [[soldiers]].

* Combined Army: An alien coalition dedicated to infinite expansion in order to gain more data. The Combined Army is a major antagonist force in the game, seeking to conquer and subjugate the Human Sphere using advanced technology and intense force. They are broken into sub-races, based on the numerous alien polities subsumed by the EI or "Evolved Intelligence."
* O-12: A powerful and neutral interstellar organization that acts as a diplomatic and regulatory body in the Human Sphere. O-12 strives to maintain balance and order among the factions, often acting as mediators in conflicts and enforcers of galactic laws.

When a [[dice]] roll is required, players roll twenty-sided dice with the goal of rolling a number equal to, or under, a success value determined by their trooper's abilities, as well as positive and negative modifiers such as weapon ranges or penalties imposed by evasive targets. When troopers attempt to affect each other, such as two troopers attacking one another, they will do so with what is called a face-to-face roll. These rolls follow rules similar to [[Blackjack]], as the goal is to roll as high as possible without exceeding one's success value, with each player's successful rolls eliminating any of their enemy's lower valued rolls. <ref>https://infinitythewiki.com/Rolls</ref>
