You can learn a lot about someone when you shoot them into space.
Starbase Jeff is a game of deep space construction for 2 to 4 players. Players add cards to the ever-growing space station, earning money from other players who must connect to theirs.
This is the new Cheapass Games edition of Starbase Jeff, 120 color-printed square cards based on the original art by Jim Geldmacher. You can find a PDF of the original game here.
You also need money for scoring, around 50 credits per player.
More About the Game:
Starbase Jeff was the first early collaboration between Cheapass Games and an outside designer. Jim Gelmacher brought the tile-building game to James Ernest, who promptly added the “for money” element.
Each players has their own deck of 20 cards, and each chooses a card simultaneously on each round. The cards are added to the station in numeric order, except that duplicated cards are deferred until later rounds. Deferred cards can be played all together, and players can sometimes defer several cards in a row.
It costs money (paid into the pot) to build most of the pieces, but you can collect money by building endcaps, or by forcing other players to connect through your parts of the station. The bigger the connection, the bigger the penalty.
Whoever closes off the station collects the pot, but the real goal is to end up with more money than you started with.
