About the game
Players will be able to travel towards Halley’s Comet, with its own board with several regions to land on, waiting to be mined. The Comet will increase its resources when orbiting near planets, and the more the game advances, the more Halley’s core will heat releasing more and more precious resources. In Starship Interstellar each player takes the role of a powerful corporation, and all of them are “cooperating” to save humanity from the disaster they themselves caused: they have to build the Starship Interstellar, hibernate in it the more people they can, and find a route to an inhabitable planet. —description from the publisher
