Covers exploration and development out to Mars. Assemble a spaceport at a Lagrange Point, launch an exploration mission to Mars, and mine the asteroids.
Description:
A fast-playing board game in which players explore and develop outer space over three eras. Each player controls an Earth-based enterprise seeking profit by driving the expansion of humanity into the Solar System and beyond. Three interlocking games, each of three eras played on a different board. The first era, Mariners, covers exploration and development out to Mars. In Planeteers, players settle the outer solar system. Players send missions to nearby star systems and establish interstellar colonies. This session covers exploration and development out to Mars. Assemble a spaceport at a Lagrange Point, launch an exploration mission to Mars, and mine the asteroids. Easy to learn and thematic, but with a underlying core of scientific reasoning behind the rules. Rules taught!
