About the game
On the Deep Space 9 station, Ferengi wheel and deal legal and illegal items in order to accrue the most profit because as you know, a Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all (Rule of Acquisition #18). In Star Trek: Galactic Enterprises, 3 to 8 Ferengi buy and sell their wares, trying to monopolize a particular item for greater profit. However, once other Ferengi get those same items for sale, it becomes a matter of negotiation: Do you work together to gain the same profit, or do you agree to cooperate, then sell at a lower price to steal all the profit for yourself? After all, opportunity, plus instinct, equals profit (Rule of Acquisition #9). Be wary of special action cards that can mess with the business of other Ferengi. The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife (Rule of Acquisition #48). The Ferengi who has earned the most profit becomes the First Clerk! —description from the publisher

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Star Trek: Galactic Enterprises for ages 14 and up.
