Description
Hoping
to make your fortune, you've traded everything you owned for your own
merchant starship. It's an old, worn-out tramp freighter, badly in need
of repairs (and a few upgrades), but it's all yours. Now you've got to
get it trading. You'll have to take it beyond the relative safety of
the Alliance worlds to the rough frontier planets bordering alien
Hovahlen space. It's a risky gambit, and making poor choices in cargoes
could result in losing everything, including the ship. Will a corrupt
port boss need to be bribed? Could expedited unloading/loading allow
you to move out ahead of schedule? Will picking up passengers or
speculative cargoes provide unexpected profits, or will smugglers or
stowaways get you in trouble?
AstroNavis Merchant Advanced is a major expansion of AstroNavis Merchant,
a solitaire freight shipping boardgame set on the frontier of human
space in the 2310s. ANMA introduces realistic merchant economics and
ship management to the science fiction universe. It defines your ship,
and the worlds you'll visit in detail and provides special events that
can turn every visit to a port into an adventure.
