Description

Stellar Ventures is a highly interactive economic game that's out of this world, literally. Set in space, players take on the role of investors in space-based corporations, all vying for dominance over a multitude of planets. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 3 to 5 players can dive into the game, exploring the complexities of commodity speculation, investment, and network building. As corporations expand their reach, they'll purchase spaceships, unlock new technologies, and increase their company value, all in the hopes of earning the most dividends. In this game of strategy and luck, players will need to balance their pursuit of wealth with the risks of alien encounters. With the option to sign The Agreement, a lucrative pact that promises peace and a special dividend, players will have to weigh the benefits against the risks of being double-crossed. As the game unfolds over 90 to 150 minutes, alliances will be formed and broken, and players will need to use their variable player powers and voting abilities to outmaneuver their opponents. In the end, the player with the most money will be declared the winner, but the journey to get there will be filled with twists and turns, making Stellar Ventures a thrilling experience for fans of economic and science fiction games.
