OVERVIEW
This is the 4th ed of Phil Eklund’s signature game High Frontier. It started with Rocket Flight (1999), a game with the vision to let “Each player start as a spacefaring company in the year 2020 trying to make a profit in trade and technology development.” Now that we are at that year, High Frontier has evolved into a modular system open to enthusiasts to keep it updated ever farther into the future.
The Core Game is equivalent to the previous edition’s basic and advanced rules, and includes Module 0 (Politics). It also comes with the beginner’s game Space Diamonds (accessible to bright children), Race for Glory (introductory, including a playthrough), and a variety of solitaire and cooperative variants.
