Merchant of Venus

 

As an interstellar merchant you explore galaxy clusters, re-accessible after Alien attacks, in two versions: A Standard Game as a development based on the Avalon Hill original and an Classic Game as implementation of the original game.

In the standard game the round marker is advanced and an event executed; player moves comprise movement, first contact, transaction, and merchant/spaceport phases. In the transaction phase you can buy, sell and take up and set down deliver passengers; in the merchant phase you can trade goods, equipment and Alien technology in interesting demand/supply mechanisms. After 30 rounds and a final scoring the richest player wins.

In the Classic Game players take turns until someone has at least 2000 Credits at the end of his turn. A player turn comprises the phases of Movement, First Kontakt and Business with Buying, Selling, Take up passenger or Set down passenger.

 

Mercantile game with a SciFi topic for 1-6 players, ages 14+
