Description

Get ready to join the Star Cartel, a high-stakes game of commodity speculation and transportation. As one of 3 to 6 players, you'll navigate the black market, making shipments and stashing contraband for yourself. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll quickly pick up the game, but mastering it will take strategy and skill. Every delivery you make will earn you a new ship and change the Cartel's prices, so you'll need to stay on your toes. As you load your ship with goods, their value will shift, and you'll need to decide whether to risk it all on high-value items or play it safe. With each successful delivery, your ship will upgrade, allowing you to carry more cargo and increase your chances of winning. The player who accumulates the most luxurious goods will emerge victorious, so plan your moves carefully and get ready to outmaneuver your opponents in this 30- to 60-minute game of intergalactic trade and deception.
