ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus designed for use by two to four players and including a board essentially divided into hexagonal shaped cells and further including six pentagonal shaped cells as well as a symbol representing a star. The board is used in conjunction with game pieces or markers representing space stations, spacecraft of several different classes and planets revolving about the star. The players take turns moving their spacecraft pieces subject to specific variable constraints with regard to the simulated spacecraft velocity and direction. The markers representing the planets are moved with every turn of each player. If a player's spacecraft is moved to a cell adjacent to another player's spacecraft, one of the spacecraft is eliminated dependent upon the classes of the respective spacecraft and the roll of dice.
