Camilla (repressedpauper) Hi guys. I've been looking to buy this game, but I can't find it! I saw one on eBay for waaay more than it's worth (pretty sure). A few sold for between $12-$20. If anyone has the game and is willing to part with it, could I buy it from you for about that much, plus shipping? I really like this universe and want as much of it as I can get. :-)

And people who have the game, how do you like it? Do you feel like it's fun and represents the universe well? Thanks!


Joseph | 2433 comments I don't have the game but I believe that it has some Union/Company background information written by Cherryh that hasn't been reprinted elsewhere. The background info was posted online at one point, but my bookmark doesn't seem to work any more.


Greg | 83 comments I just heard about this the other day and found one on ebay that I ordered. Now if I could just find some of the filk http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... associated with the universe I'd be ecstatic.

Aw, you got the game right before me, haha. Is this what you're looking for? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H60B... Seems like it might be.

Tell me what you think of the game when you get around to playing it, if you don't mind. :-)


Daryl | 101 comments A little bit of info can be found about the game here - http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/33...

I did see that page, Daryl, and saw people willing to trade, but I don't have anything to trade. :-( I just want to buy, haha. Are you a member of boardgamegeek.com? If so, do you think it would be in bad form to message someone with it and ask to just buy it?

Camilla (repressedpauper) I found someone who would sell it to me on boardgamegeek.com! So thanks, Daryl. I hope it's fun.


Daryl | 101 comments Yay, great news. Good peoples on "the geek" with a passion for games and are typically very friendly.

Camilla (repressedpauper) Yeah, this person really was. I think I might actually join the community for more than hunting down games.
