About the game
Get ready to take command of an Earth-based corporation and dominate the cosmos in SpaceCorp: 2025-2300AD! If you're the type who loves watching an empire grow, this game is your next obsession. The premise is simple yet deep: you control an enterprise seeking profit by driving humanity's expansion throughout the Solar System and beyond. The game is divided into three epic eras that expand the board as you advance technologically.

In the first era, Mariners, the focus is on exploration and development out to Mars. As you progress into the Planeteers era, the setting expands to the outer solar system, allowing you to colonize moons and mine asteroids. Finally, in the Starfarers era, the game reaches galactic proportions, with missions to nearby star systems like Alpha Centauri. You can build spaceports at Lagrange Points, discover microbial life on Charon, or even develop warp technology for faster-than-light travel.

The real charm lies in the progression. You start by mining basic resources and end by establishing colonies in distant systems with generation ships. It's a game of resource management and engine building, where every expansion decision could mean the difference between astronomical profits or total corporate failure. If you enjoy sci-fi themes and like seeing the board 'grow' as the game progresses, SpaceCorp will keep you hooked from start to finish. It's a space exploration journey that goes far beyond our orbit!
