Description

In the year 4049, the galaxy is thriving and the demand for resources is on the rise. As a budding entrepreneur, you'll embark on a journey to explore the edges of space in search of precious minerals. With the ability to buy and upgrade starships, hire skilled pilots, and invest in cutting-edge technology, you'll be well on your way to amassing a fortune. The cargo you haul could be worth a small fortune, so it's time to grab your helmet and suit up. In Starship Merchants, you'll navigate through a business cycle, moving through four quadrants on the board, from the shipyard to the dock. Along the way, you'll make key decisions about how to allocate your resources, whether to explore new areas, pick up mines, or deliver cargo to maximize your profits. The game ends when a player declares the Final Run, and the player with the most credits is declared the winner, making for a thrilling and competitive experience for 2 to 4 players.
