"In this game of the far future, the heroes aren"t warriors. They"re the daring captains who cross the galaxy with the rarest cargoes of a hundred worlds. They"re the Star Traders". Star Traders is an exciting game of travel and trade. Two to six players race to deliver the best cargoes and build trade stations. Both competition and cooperation are important. You can interfere with your opponents ... or help them out, for a price! In the end, only one player will be named the Imperial Trader. Star Traders plays on two levels. The basic game takes about an hour. The advanced game involves more planning, as you try to control strategic worlds, and takes 3 to 4 hours. "Star Traders is an excellent family game.
