The earth has been stripped of resources and now the human race has set out to colonize a New World. On the way players will explore planets and astroid, build outposts and Starbases, excavate alien artifacts, upgrade abilities and often blow each other up. Once players land on the new world they will choose which branch of government to form, and this will determine how they will score points based on the actions they took getting there. StarDrive is a clever combination of racing and 4X game elements. A turn consists of rolling dice and placing them on a faction control panel, and then taking an action determined by the dice that were placed. Dice that are not used to perform an action can be saved for later turns or rerolled. There are eight factions to choose from and many ways to customize them during play
