Details

Adventure for two brave cosmonauts. You are lost with your spaceship, you have limited motive power and the resource situation is critical. Fortunately you meet other peoples. You win when you are the first to collect 10 victory points. Victory points can be found on the colony cards you have acquired, or you get by defeating pirates or by being the people's best friend. This game is mainly controlled by cards and for experienced players it takes an hour for beginners to spend more than 2 hours with their space flight. A player's turn proceeds in three stages: 1) yield phase 2) flight phase 3) trade and construction phase The aim is to equip your spaceship better and better. Or with better propulsion rockets that allow you to fly further. Which basically means that you can choose from a wider variety of cards. Or with more powerful on-board guns to better defend against pirates. Pirates that get stronger and more numerous during the game. Either by establishing centers in your spaceship that offer you a wider range of possibilities. This can range from increasing the storage options for raw materials to prior knowledge of certain options and even mandatory trading. Of course you need the necessary raw materials to be able to realize all this. You can find these resources on other planets. Some of these planets allow you to establish a trading post or establish a colony, but you must be in possession of a trading ship or a colony ship. Not for nothing in life, nor in space. Here too you will soon discover that even in space there is a shortage of cash flow (Astro). In this game, it is really important to know where to buy resources cheaply and where to sell them with a large profit margin. Construction costs and resource capacities are graphically displayed on the individual (game board) spaceship.
