The game is a basic space racing game with a free form construction and movement system, similar in concept to things like Full Thrust and Car Wars where there is a large amount of work to be undertaken before the game is actually playable.  The game comes with a die and counters for ships and marker buoys but could easily be played with spaceship miniatures.  As with Car Wars, the game has both a race component and a \"blow the opponent out of the sky\" component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.29 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Julian Musgrave, Jamie Walker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wotan Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51927366795480,"sku":"SB-FBFCBDED8988-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/36joqatbbeoouz52lm299mq6mdws.jpg?v=1785466613","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/v-i-p-e-r","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
