ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus where one to three players race their space ships from their respective bases to their respective outposts via a radial graph. Players choose one of two modes of travel (conventional space travel or the wormhole space travel system) at each turn in order to best reach their respective goals. For conventional space travel, the difference in the numbers showing after the roll of the dice provide positive numbers which enable a player to move their ships in any desired direction within a radial graph, or negative numbers which require a player to move their ships inward, towards and into the black hole and back to base. Wormhole travel enables a player to instantaneously move a ship from any one of six positions on the graph to one of those same six spots. The first player to get all of their ships in their outpost wins.
