About the game

Players compete to build the best outpost. They must build and staff factories to produce resources which are then used to build more factories and purchase colony improvements, which give different advantages (ranging from production technologies, resource storage, and increased population maximums to resource producing stations). Improvements are purchased through auctions, and each player may only win one per round. There are three phases in the game, and with each phase after the first a new set of improvements are available to purchase. Each staffed factory and improvement is worth a certain number of victory points. The first player to reach 75 points wins.

This is the reprint from Stronghold Games, touted as the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. This has been out of print for over 15 years, so the reprint is most welcome, deluxe or not.
