Description

The Solar System awaits! Take up the Earthman’s Burden - work your hundreds of thousands of interplanetary colonists to the bone, push your vast fleets of starships to the limit... perhaps you will find new and unique treasures; perhaps you will find rich veins of precious resources; perhaps you will even find natives to exploit and turn to your service. Neither the faltering might of the UN nor the greedy hands of the other nations of Earth should stand in your way...

Your objective is to outcompete, destroy and bankrupt the other nations and corporations of Earth; whether you do so with your military might, with political and economic overthrow or with carefully-managed treaties is your choice.

Notes

  • This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
  • This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
