TRAVELLER TRADERSBy C Gerard Luft A SOLO CARD AND DICE GAME OF TRADING IN THE IMPERIUMINTRODUCTIONIn this one player game you play the Captain and crew of the FREE TRADER BEOWULF. The Goal is to profit 73 Mega Credits (i.e., 73,000,000Credits), which is just enough to but a SUBSIDIZED LINER and become a Merchant Prince. But in the 1350th year of the GALACTIC EMPIRE, this great utopian civilization of Humanity is far from civilized. Trading in the Spinward Marches Sector, even close to its ducal capital REGINA, can still be dangerous.
SET UPYou will need to make three decks of cards: TRADER DECK (which you start with all five cards of), ENCOUNTER DECK, MERCHANDISE DECK, and STARSHIP DECK. You will also need some six sided dice (d6). You begin with all the cards from the TRADER DECK: FREE TRADER BEOWULF, CAPTAIN, FIRST OFFICER, SECOND OFFICER, and THIRD OFFICER. Players begin with 1,000,000Cr at the start of the game to purchase their first cargo.

BUY AND SELL! ROUNDPURCHASE PROSPECTING TURNYou must first find merchandise to buy, so you can sell it at the next planet for profit (The game begins on the PLANET REGINA). You obtain merchandise from a PATRON. Draw cards from the ENCOUNTER DECK until you draw a PATRON CARD. FIRST COMBAT TURNAll the cards you drew before reaching the PATRON you must battle (Space Ports can be a dangerous place). Your Captain and Crew may battle one card at a time, unless more than one of like cards are drawn. In that case they battle together. If the ENCOUNTER DECK runs out, reshuffle its Discard Pile. " ENCOUNTERS ATTACK FIRST: The each opponent chooses a target. They select targets in the following pattern: CAPTAIN, 1ST OFFICER, 2ND OFFICER and 3RD OFFICER." Each OPPONENT rolls 4d6 and adds its POWER to the roll. The CAPTAIN OR CREW who is targeted rolls 4d6 and adds their power to the total. If the ATTACKER'S score is greater than the DEFENDER'S score, then the defender is defeated (and dying; blasters (Fusion Pulse Guns) cause a lot of damage). If the 3RD OFFICER is present and active at that point of the battle, he can stabilize that officer's wounds, and prevent him from being defeated (dying; though he is inactive for 1 week, which is explained below). " The surviving CAPTAIN and CREW may now be the attackers. Each Crew surviving and present targets one opponent (They may choose to attack the same opponent as well). The ATTACKERS roll 4d6 and add their POWER to the roll. The DEFENDERS roll 4d6 and add their POWER to the roll. If the ATTACKER'S modified rolls are greater that the DEFENDER'S modified rolls, that the target hit is defeated. " If opponents remain, then the COMBAT TURN is repeated until all the opponents in that battle are defeated, or the CAPTAIN and CREW are defeated (at which time the game is over). " DEFEATED CHARACTERS: OPPONENTS are discarded and defeated CAPTAIN or OFFICER is removed from the game. If both the CAPTAIN and 1ST OFFICER are removed, then the game is over. " INACTIVE CHARACTERS: Characters who were defeated but saved by the 3rd Officer are inactive. The other Officers may still deal with the PATRON. If the CAPTAIN and his 1ST OFFICER are both inactive then there is no one to pilot the FREE TRADER. The surviving Officers are effectively grounded. " HEALING: An Inactive Character becomes active again when they reach planet fall on the next planet. If the FREE TRADER is grounded, then the CAPTAIN and 1ST OFFICER are active again after the player draws 7 more ENCOUNTER CARDS (repeating the COMBAT TURN if necessary).

Draw a card from the MERCHANDISE DECK. This is the merchandise available. Using the two tables below, roll a 4d6. Subtract from the roll the POWER of the highest officer present. Multiply this by the BASE PRICE OF THE MERCHANDISE. This is the price the PATRON requires for the merchandise. If you do not have enough Credits for the merchandise, or the price is too much to pay, then draw cards from the encounter deck to find a new PATRON and battle any OPPONENTS drawn.
