Description
Emigration to the Belt!
Do you want to go to the asteroid belt? If so, join the Company who intend going out two months from now under the charge of the Outer Belt Mining Guild in a first-rate fusion clipper. Laborers, Miners, Engineers, Pilots starting at 14 Credits per day. Gas Extraction Mines are just getting into operation all through the belt. Engineers are very scarce. The above prices are direct from Haven, which can be seen at my office.
With Earth an overcrowded world, the new frontier is the asteroid belt lying between Mars and Jupiter. There, it is possible to find riches enough for a lifetime, or a quick end to life. More than a simple board game, Belter introduces elements of role-playing and imagination while realistic constraints (supply and demand, supervised elections, physical violence) shape the course of the game.
First released in 1979, this new edition includes all the original fun, enhanced by state-of-the-art production, plus additional rules of play by Christopher Moeller (Burning Banners, Brothers at War). Now is the time to seek your fortune among the stars!
