About the game

1981 · Game Designers’ Workshop (GDW) · Traveller · Strategic interstellar war in the Spinward Marches

Imperial and Zhodani forces contest the Spinward Marches through fleet operations, planetary assaults and reinforcements. Orders must anticipate the delays of interstellar travel and communication, making the timing of distant campaigns as important as local strength. This is the original standalone GDW board game.
