The Great Game
 |
The Great Game is a Print-It-Yourself Board Game. All components are printable png files¸ and the instructions are a printable pdf file. In The Great Game¸ the players shape the peopling of the Solar System¸ from 2020 to 2120¸ with each decade being a turn. Players draw random agendas¸ and completing tasks on these agendas gains points. Play uses a standard card deck for resolution¸ and the results are interpreted by the players¸ which means anything is on the table. In the game¸ there are 5 Great Powers and 5 Lesser Powers who can colonize space. Powers may change during play due to player action. Each turn¸ new areas may open up for colonization¸ and colonies may become independent. The Great Game is excellent for generating near-future SF settings. With so many variables¸ replay value is very high¸ with different results each iteration. We recommend up to four play¸ due to the increasing complexity of change with each player¸ but you can have more players if you want.
