East of Orion™ is about entertaining games that spark a player’s imagination. We produce games we like to play.
We are currently playtesting our Exoplanet Rush™ board game. It is a game of quick profit for 2-to-6 players set in humanity’s foreseeable future at the exoplanetary frontier. Capitalism thrives in the ungoverned regions just a leap ahead of Earth-based Terran governance. Players compete, and to some extent cooperate, to develop a new solar system. Make what you can while the rush lasts. When the law arrives, the capitalist heyday ends.
Our first released game is Battlespace Sirius™–a tactical tabletop game of space combat for 2 to 6 players and lots of room to demonstrate your strategic prowess or diplomatic skill as players decide which other players to engage (and not engage) in a 20-minute contest to be the last remaining vessel. Battlespace Sirius is played with 2-to-6 playing cards representing each player’s Ship. It’s fun and quick. It’s a great filler on game day, and it’s portable enough to be taken and played anywhere.
Our next game will be Open Worlds: Battle for Extra-Solar Planets™–an expandable strategy card game for strategists of many styles.
