Become a Robber Baron of the High Frontier!
High Trader is the completely revamped edition of Rocket Flight, the classic game of commerce and exploration on the high frontier. A challenging mix of negotiations, economics and exploration, High Trader distills rocket engineering into a simple "tinker toy" modality, and gives, bar none, a set of boardgame rules that allow you to plan a real rocket mission, including calculating fuel fraction, Isp and mission prfiles -- all with Ad Astra's traditional innovative and high quality play aids.
For fans of the original Rocket Flight, there is a completely updated glossary, adding more rocket technologies than ever before.
* Revised Delta V map retains the ease of use of the original, while giving more accurate results, including different kinds of transfer orbits, and higher resolution - delta v is tracked in 1.25 km/sec increments.
* Rocket design is done visually, by matching inputs and outputs on color coded tiles.
* Fuel fraction nomogram makes fuelling your rocket a matter of looking at the map, finding out how much delta v you need, and making two measurements. We do the scary math so you can have fun!
* Delta V map is completely compatable as a system scale operational movement map for the Attack Vector line of games.
