- 0f0f STAR TRADERS
+ 3 7 is a classic game of interstellar mercantilism. The object
+ the game is to make the most money in fifty moves. You make money by buying
+ stock in trading companies, and helping them to grow and merge into great
+ interstellar shipping lanes worth millions of dollars.
+
+ During each turn, you will be given a choice of five map locations to
+ choose from. One of four things will happen after every choice:
+
- 5 7 (
- c f 1
+ 5 7 ) Formation of a new Outpost
- (
- c f 2
+ 5 7 ) Formation of a new Shipping Company
- (
- c f 3
+ 5 7 ) Merger of two companies
- (
- c f 4
+ 5 7 ) Growth of an existing Company
+
- e f NEW OUTPOST
+ 3 7 - If you select a space in the middle of nowhere, an outpost
- will be formed. The Outpost will be marked with a "
- f f +
+ 3 7 ".
+
- e f NEW SHIPPING COMPANY
+ 3 7 - If you select a coordinate adjacent to an outpost
+ or a star, a new company will be formed. You will receive five shares
+ of stock in this company.
+
B a f
- e f MERGER
+ 3 7 - If you select a coordinate between two different companies, the two
+ companies will merge. Any stock held in the old company wil be converted
+ into shares in the new company.
+
- e f GROWTH
+ 3 7 - If you select a coordinate next to an existing company, the company
+ will absorb the coordinate and the value of its stock will increase.
+
- e f SPLIT
- 3 7 - Once a companies stock value reaches
- 2 f $
- a f 4000
+ 3 7 , your stock in the company
+ will split 2 for 1. If you are playing the old version, it splits when
- the value goes above
- 2 f $
- a f 4000
+ 3 7 .
+
- e f SELL
+ 3 7 - If you wish, you may sell any or all existing stock in any company.
+ This will allow you to gamble, so to speak, on another company doing
+ better in stock growth than the old one. BE CAREFUL ON THIS OPTION!
- 6 f NOTE:
- 3 7 You will be charged
- 4 f $
- c f 5
+ 3 7 for every share sold.
+
+
+ At the beginning of the game, you are given 6000 credits to start. After
+ selecting a coordinate, you will be allowed to purchase stock in any of the
+ existing trading companies. [M=xx] shows how many shares you can afford to
- purchase in each company. You can enter the amount or "
- f f M
