Description

Set in the 21st century, the Triplanetary map depicts the inner Solar system out to Jupiter. Scenarios involved racing, pirating, invasions, and several others. Movement involves vector mechanics. Players plot courses using a grease pencil on the map and use fuel to accelerate a maximum of one space each turn. Planets and moons are used to modify the trajectory. There are a limited number of ships. Most are limited in fuel, so making efficient use of gravity is important to reach a destination.
