Deep Space Prospector is a real-space game that plays on your coffee table. Players are space miners rushing to explore far away galaxies and ruthlessly exploit them for massive profits. Players randomly disperse asteroids around a central space station to create a playing board. Markers indicating power reserves are lined up to plot a course to asteroids and for the return home. The goal is to carefully use your power reserves to travel to asteroids, mine them, and safely return to the space station. Points are earned for successful mining and remaining power. Be the most successful space prospector to win, but be wary of running out of power and being stranded in space forever!
