Interstellar

The starship Exodus departs in haste from a troubled Solar System. Players must negotiate risks and challenges together in a cooperative sense and survive the journey, but competitively, must have the most victory points to win. Because of extreme mass limits, players start with two heavily augmented teenagers plus frozen human embryos, eggs, and sperm. The ship is a generation ark on an interstellar voyage lasting over a century.

• Interstellar is a stand-alone cooperative-competitive game for 1 to 6 players, also playable as a successor game to High Frontier in combination with Module 4-Exodus.
• All players travel in The Exodus; a modular game component consisting of a number of placards, that will erode, malfunction and be eaten by goo. 
• An ideology chart tracks how the players’ mutual loyalties evolve.
• One player is the captain and makes the most important decisions, but this player needs to stay popular, or a new captain can be chosen among the players.
• Players must negotiate risks and challenges together in a cooperative sense to survive the journey, but competitively, the one with the most victory points wins. 
• The journey lasts for generations, maybe 100 years, maybe more.
• During this journey, you will probe potential star systems, maintain the ship and develop technology for sanity, anti-cancer, survival, terraforming, and colonization. 
• Each turn is 12 years in journey time.A market of developments represents what you spend your time on and discover. 
• And a large map featuring our nearest stars binds it all together; here you plan and execute your journey. As with High Frontier, everything on this map is based on real facts about outer space.
