Description

2038: Tycoons of the Asteroid  Belt uses the same core rules as the 1829 railroad game by Hartland Trefoil.  Game begins with 1 corporation and up to 6 independents mining in an asteroid belt.  Game play includes three rounds each turn: the Stock Round and two Operating Rounds.

During the Stock Round, players make the economic choices that will have long term impacts on the game.  Options include having the company go public, buying or selling shares of other corporations, and how to invest company profits.

During the Operating Rounds, players focus on the short term impacts of the game.  Options include relying on the existing fleet or purchasing newer, bigger and faster ships, continue mining existing settlements or explore new ones, develop new mines for profit or simply to deny opponents the opportunity, and more.
