4st Edition: High Frontier 4 All

High Frontier is set in the near future, approximately 100 years from now. You represent a space exploration company whose goal is to explore and industrialize the solar system. The game can be played in various ways, but the primary objective remains the construction of factories at different locations within the solar system. To achieve this, you must act wisely and innovatively in the development of technologies, while also being cautious and bold when navigating your spacecraft through the solar system. The game board features the most comprehensive representation of the solar system ever included in a game, offering nearly limitless options and strategic possibilities for you to combine.

This is the 4th edition of Phil Eklund's signature game, High Frontier. It all started with Rocket Flight, a game with the ambitious idea that "each player starts as a spacefaring company in the year 2020 trying to make a profit through trade and technology development." Now, in 2020, High Frontier 4 All will take the game further: A more accessible game, using introductory games that explain the mechanics step by step, along with tutorials, plenty of illustrated examples, and strategic tips. An open game system, allowing for additions and modules. This will enable the active and brilliant community around High Frontier to evolve the game continuously, and for us to honor them by publishing modules that Phil deems worthy.
