| 1. The map consists of the Solar System with some close planets. In the solar system you find the main 8 planets as well as the sun (which is at the current technology level only an obstacle), inner and outer asteroid belt and the main moons (Pluto is depicted as a large moon due to size). Additionally the 4 closest earth-like planets are depicted and can be settled too. They can be reached over wormholes. Each offworld planet has a wormhole at the edge of the solar system in the quadrant close to it. You will get an info once wormhole technology becomes available between rounds 10 to 20. Wormholes transport all units on them to the other side at the beginning of a round. | 1. The map consists of the Solar System with some close planets.

| A. There is an intentional development curve: At the beginning everybody will be able to make profit unless they get drawn into a prolonged war. The stock value of the initial companies will first fall then rise. But as more and stronger companies get to the start (and they get a huge research boost) the companies which started first will get under heavy pressure. Then a third wave of companies might start to take over the solar system for good. | A.

| P. HOUSE RULE: If there are not at least two floated companies and you have the money to buy at least one share or float a company during your turn you MUST buy a share of float a company. This should be advantegeous anyway but is necessary to prevent stalling the game in the beginning. | P.
