ABSTRACT:
A tessellating board game which combined with game rules simulates the economic development of single or multiple star planetary systems in which choices made by competing parties influencing each other's economic prospects have ramifications modeled by a subsuming moral dynamic, affecting player destiny as moral or karmic law analogous to natural law. Also simulated is a complex gravitational field of a star and its planets, either for a single star in the unistellar game version or for multiple stars in the multistellar game version, and players must plot spacecraft trajectories within those gravitational fields, adjusting spacecraft speed and direction using planetary encounters and fuel decrement, and, in the multistellar game, using hyperspace jump locations to transcend the constraint of distance.
