In this space-themed race game, you control 4 spaceships which you send out into the galaxy. At random intervals, your home government approves colonization of various star systems, and the first starship there gets exclusive rights to colonize. The first player with 4 colonies wins the game.
The star card deck show rough graphic representations and the actual names of the 40 closest star systems to our own, the next furthest out that we know or suspect might have planets, and other stars yet further out known for their place in constellations. The rule book gives more details about each of the 107 star systems and general facts about astronomy and astrophysics.
