Outpost is a resource management game. Each player in Outpost assumes the role of a colony commander on a distant planet that has just been opened up. Players collect resources represented by production cards, which can then be spent on new factories, additional man power (or robot power) and on colony upgrades. There are never as many of these in the game as there are players. The first player to accumulate 75 victory points wins the game.  Click here to read the postal rules.  You can also view a colony card summary, a factory summary, and a production card summary.

There is an Average Card variant, which is being played in game 7.  This reduces the luck factor by giving production cards in average values only.  To increase the flexibility for spending it, you actually get two 'half' cards of unequal value.  For example, an Ore Factory has an average production value of three, so you get one value '1' card and one value '2' card.

Outpost was designed by James Hlavaty and published by TimJim Games.
