Merchant of Venus

Description
This classic title from Avalon Hill uses many elements which come together to form a very interesting game. Players take on the roles of space traders who move their ships through interconnected systems discovering new alien worlds to trade with. As players start to make money delivering commodities in a very unique supply and demand system, their earnings can be used to purchase better ships and equipment (shields, etc...), or to buy ports (which speeds up trading) and factories (which create better commodities). Variations included in the rule book allow for inter-player combat. The player with the who is the first to acquire enough ($1000, $2000, $3000, $4000) in cash and port/factory deeds takes the day. - BoardGameGeek
