Space Dealer

Players act simultaneously in real time against a 30-minute soundtrack, managing a small planetary operation that includes a generator, a mine, and ships. They produce goods, research new abilities and cards, and move ships to deliver goods to other players’ planets or to neutral planets, scoring points for both sender and recipient. All actions require flipping one of the player’s limited sand timers, and players must juggle only two timers each while the game becomes an increasingly frantic race to complete deliveries before time runs out. An optional second copy expands the player count.
