Cruising cyberspace this Sunday morning and I've come across this cool vintage space game I've never seen before. Being a big fan of old board games I was intrigued. I'll check my Rick Polizzi Board Games books when I get home. In the meantime this is what I've found out.
Made by Game Partners in 1964, it was a House of Ideas Game for 2- 6 players. The objective was very Star Trek, to travel through space designated by the board safely, acquiring points by the successful accomplishment of missions, until you are declared the winner by one of three methods possible to win.
Looking at the contents list [below] the groovy red balls would appear to be planets. I can't make out what the spaceships look like though. Does anyone have this cool game?
'Contents: playing board, score board, 52 regular mission cards, 6 special mission cards, 30 special situation cards, 6 general situation cards, 6 bases, 6 ships, 5 planets, spinner (metal spinner arm is rusted and has left a rust stain on the spinner base), 5 planet bases, 6 warships, 6 speed ships, 6 freighters, instructions book, 12 pegs, and the inserts' [Vintage Game World.
