Scorpius Freighter is set in a distant star system that is dominated by an oppressive authoritarian government. A few intrepid pilots resist those oppressors by smuggling goods and information on the side as they use their �sanctioned� freighters for their more-legal operations. During the game, players must recruit their crews and customize their ships, delivering legal and extra-legal goods to the three worlds of the Scorpius system, while avoiding the eye of the government. Completing illicit jobs earns the player �reputation points,� with the player who has the most points winning the game. <IMG SRC="/images/news/650x650_58d62f435f7441d51e579add2838bf2a33cf693ba147bbed600bfe1f(2).jpg" ALIGN="RIGHT" WIDTH="200px"> The game includes 1 game board, 3 plastic motherships, 4 player boards, 38 crew cards, 132 tiles, and 100 wooden cubes. Scorpius Freighter was designed by David Short (Automobiles) and Matthew Dunstan (Relic Runners), and is intended for 2 to 4 players, ages 14 and up. It takes a little less than an hour to play. <A HREF="https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/41340/smuggle-like-rebel-scorpius-freighter">CONTINUE READING</A> <A HREF="http://www.grosnor.com/dealers/main.products.info.php?infoCode=AEG5874">PREORDER SCORPIUS FREIGHTER</A>
