Intergalactic Space Trader

Greetings Galactic Citizens,

This is a solo player game where you take on the role of an Intergalactic Space Trader. You have a freighter which you will use to fly from planet to planet selling your trade goods in the hope of making a profit. You can upgrade your ship, buy bigger ships, make investments and trade goods. Along the way you might do some mining, find a derelict ship, fend off space pirates or head into the entertainment sector. Who knows whom you might meet there.

It is important to understand this game is the following:

1. Free (with a pay what you want option, any contributions are appreciated)
2. A print and play game
3. A solo player game
4. Designed for economy printing, with minimal colour
5. A portable tabletop game

IST is a game you can play on the move, as you do not have to use dice although a set of polyhedral dice is handy. You can instead, close your eyes and place a pen on a chart and generate a result that way.

Format

IST is designed to be portable, being in an A6 format. Each page is A6 but can be printed A5 also. Using a PDF reader you can set the files to print as booklets if you have A5 paper, and you can always tear in half A4 pages in half. The game was always designed to be carried in a pocket.
