Description
Merchant of Venus, boxed board game
“Once there was a mighty Galactic Empire, peopled by an uneasy alliance of intelligent species. Politicians schemed for power under a figurehead Emperor, while warlike species kept the peace and dozens of worlds traded in ideas, resources and products. Richest of all were the traders of interspecies luxury goods, who cleverly terraformed a world to produce these rare luxuries. Their planet (an unused Rim world named for a minor local deity of the softer pleasures) was a byword for wealth, luxury and shrewd trading; and when the Empire finally collapsed into a dark age of savagery, the memory of the Merchant of Venus lived on, a legend of the shrewd trader who brought wonderful things from beyond the stars.
Now it is the 32nd century, two centuries after the fall of the First Galactic Empire, and a young, lusty civilisation is bursting forth into the Galaxy with the newly rediscovered star drive. It is the heyday of the independent interstellar merchant, a time when a few daring entrepreneurs can make fortunes and build trade empires.
