S.P.I.V.'s (1986)

About this game

A fast moving game in which each player is the pilot of a Self-Propelled Interstellar Vehicle (SPIV) seeking a (slightly dishonest) fortune in a dangerous part of space known as Quadrant 13. The object is to move from spaceports to planets where aliens are located and collected and then transported back to spaceports to be sold. This task is made more difficult by the numerous hazards in Quadrant 13 and the abilities of the aliens, which range from irritating to absolutely deadly!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
