Description
An ambitious DTP microgame, The Final Frontier incorporates space exploration and combat, space-surface interaction, multiple types of movement (within and between systems), colonization and mining, economics, and the effect of national interest on Earth. Players represent global powers competing to expand into, colonize, and exploit the solar system, within the context of global conflict and economic problems. Game scale is 2 months per turn and one AU per hex. Components include a map, 280 counters, player aid sheets, and the rules.
