ABSTRACT:
A solar system conquest game has a game board including a plurality of movement paths that form a first set of concentric circular orbits and a second set of orbits intersecting the circular orbits at pre-selected locations with these orbits defining movement paths for playing pieces corresponding to each player. The intersections define exchange points where pieces may change orbits. A set of cards determines additional pieces to be entered onto the board by a player, and dice determine the number of movement steps to be traversed by a player during his turn, and a second set of dice controls the outcome of a confrontation between playing pieces. The game board may further be divided into a number of sectors, and a set of instruction cards influence events in a particular sector for all players having pieces located therein. Base points may be located on selected orbits, and pairs of jump points may also be located on selected orbits and defined by exit points and entry points whereby a player may move directly from an exit point to an entry point. Playing pieces are of two types, a unit piece and a carrier piece having a larger value than the unit piece and configured to physically receive said unit pieces for transport therewith. Additional chance cards may be provided to influence game conditions.
