Space Perimeter is a game where companies (players) explore space by playing square cards in their hand to form the playing board. Cards will have a numerical value on each side. Once a card has been placed, players will add up the total value on the side of the map facing them. This value, or Acclaim, will fluctuate during the course of the game. Players can use Acclaim to build Space Stations, deploy Spy Probes, or colonize Planets. The goal of the game is to have the highest Acclaim after the last card is drawn.
