Merchant of Venus

Avalon Hill at their non-wargaming peak and the forefather to a lot of what you see today

Print & Play Productions copy with money.

With my new copy I have now rated the game. It has held up well over the years and is enjoyable. The new wooden chips really make a much needed improvement.

Great game of trading and space exploration, even if it does have roll and move mechanics. Very nice job expressing the theme, and I like all of the goofy goods and aliens. Have a glass of mulch wine, and admire this psychotic sculpture.

Have played twice so far and absolutely love it! Both games were not played to completion due to time constraints, so I wasn't able to see how the mid-to-end game develops. It is very, very promising, though, and when I get a full game in I'll update my rating and comment.

Seemed pretty old school to me (AH version). Not a lot to really get my juices flowing as the graphics themselves were so bland. Needs an updating. I like the idea of a space-themed game using a railroad pick up and deliver engine. Sold it (AH edition).

Just bought this AH old game from Troll and Toad. Learned about and attracted and find the right retailer all through BGG! Long live BGG!

Good game and theme, eventhough I utterly lost just because of the fact that I had been the last player to move on the first turn.
