The government of the Scorpius system controls everything, but there are some freighter pilots who operate under the radar, distributing restricted medicine, information, and supplies while they’re fulfilling above board contracts. You can’t take the sky from this Scorpius Freighter.
What Is Scorpius Freighter?
Scorpius Freighter is a sci-fi smuggling game for players, ages 14 and up, and takes about 45–75 minutes to play. It had a soft release at Essen 2018 and made its way to the US in December with a retail price of $59.99; you can order directly from AEG, Amazon, or look for it at your local game store. Although the listed age rating is 14 and up, I think you could teach it to experienced kids maybe as young as 10. It’s a little hard to categorize the game type, but there’s a little bit of pick-up-and-deliver, a bit of resource management, some rondels, and tile placement — all mixed together in an intriguing way.
