In this game, designed by Peter and Alkira Sanderson, players take charge of an interstellar business. The goal of the game is to best their business rivals by outperforming them and ending up the top company by the last round. They will gain Victory Points by laying claim to different groups of planets and developing them. Players will build up production facilities on their planets to optimize their game engine while navigating the Galactic Exchange where commodities for the game are bought and sold.

Star Tycoon is for one to four players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 25-100 minutes. It will retail for $45.00.
