In Escape Velocity, players will compete to become the most profitable company by investing in space elevators or mass drivers, establishing colonies on Mars or Ceres, building colony ships destined for Ganymede or Callisto, and helping to industrialize the final frontier. Each round, players will select and execute actions, pick up and deliver materials, research new technologies, and spend their money carefully. Planets move each round and players will need to watch carefully as they plan their routes. —description from the publisher
