SolarQuest: The Space-Age Real Estate Game - Deluxe Edition

Great game. My son loves it, while learning about the planets and moons

This has become a fast family favorite. Game is well made, with sturdy materials that seem like they are built to last. This game is easy to learn and play, and is incredibly versatile. Choose which variation works for you or try different ways. Don't have much time? We have played "Race to Earth" by seeing who can journey through space and back to Earth the fastest. Want to have unique objectives to the game for each player? Have everyone start with a mission card. You can incorporate mission cards in different ways. Compete and see who is first to achieve their goal or make it cooperative and everyone wins only if everyone achieves their goal. Choose to make secret mission cards or make them visible to everyone. Play without fuel to simplify for new or younger players, or with fuel for a more dynamic challenge. This game is fun independent of any educational components. However, for those considering buying the game as a learning experience, expect that 1) Players become familiar with the planets and dwarf planets in our solar system, 2) Players become familiar with which planets have no moons, which have only one or two moons, and which have many moons, 3) Players learn names of several moons and which planets those moons are associated with, 4) Playing close attetion to board set up, which planets are rocky and which are gas giants (that we cannot land on) 5) Making change with 1000, 500, 100, 50, and 10 based monetary units, 6) Math for fuel, 7) multiplication of numbers shown on dice, and more. This game does not teach how relatively close or far each planet is to the sun. We didn't buy it for that anyway. This game is really fun, and I highly reccomend!

That space age real estate boardgame from my childhood is finally back. And somewhat improved! More recently discovered celestial bodies and the reclassification of Pluto incorporated into this really fun family board game. It's more fun than Monopoly (in my opinion) and had been hard to find. Get it while you can!

Product was as described and shipped Promptly.

Great game. I loved this game when I was a kid and I'm really excited to share this with my kids. We played last night and had a great time. Everything was there, the game pieces, the board, the entertainment, the strategy, education and the family fun! The magnets on the board were a welcomed improvement. The only con I have and it's a small quibble, would be the way the instructions are written and it would be nice to have some more clarification on the mission cards. Other than that, I'm a very pleased customer!

I played the old version as a kid and now we have been playing this with my children. This is a great game.

New Heaven and Earth in a box.

I love this game. If you like space and monopoly, just go ahead and buy it. It is up there with my favorite board games ever. It is a perfect way to pass time and have fun with family and friends. We played the simple way, which was disregarding the fuel tracking. The instructions can be confusing for beginners, so I recommend if you buy it play the simple way first to get the feel of it. It really is fun though and I highly recommend it.
