Solarquest is a space-age real estate trading game published in 1985 and developed by Valen Brost. The game is patterned after Monopoly, but replaces pewter tokens with rocketships and hotels with metallic fuel stations. Players travel around the sun acquiring monopolies and fending off attacks. They seek to knock their opponents out of the game through a combination of bankruptcy, laser blasts, and dwindling fuel supplies.
This board game is renowned for its playability and appealing design, and it developed a devoted fan base before going out of print in the late 1990s. The company that introduced it was Golden Press/ Western Publishing Company, which is now a part of Random House. Solarquest has attracted a renewed following in recent years due to its availability on eBay and other auction sites.
