The customizable (non-collectible) card game based on the classic Traveller RPG is just around the corner. Horizon Games has set a Q3 release for the Traveller: Two Player Starter Set. Each player will captain a ship as they engage in trading and combat across the Third Imperium. The game is for ages 10+, plays in around 30 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $39.99.
From Horizon:
A card game with trade, exploration and combat in Marc Miller’s classic RPG setting, The Third Imperium.
Traveller is a card game adaptation of Marc Miller’s classic Science-Fiction role-playing game. Players assume the role of ship Captains plying the mains of the Third Imperium.
The game has been designed to accommodate 2-4 players, but it also supports solo play and we anticipate releasing special solo play scenarios and game modes. Single and two-player games should last about 30 minutes. Three or four will go for 45-60 minutes.
Traveller is non-collectable. There’s no random allocation of cards, and no rarities. Every product is a fixed set, so you always know exactly what you’re getting.
Our basic mechanics are an icon-driven race game, with ample opportunities to interact with, and even engage in piracy against, other players. All Captains must also contend with a hostile galaxy and the looming threat of insolvency.
