Belter: Mining the Asteroids, 2076 (GDW)

In the latter years of the 21st Century, the new frontier is the asteroid belt, an untamed and lawless region which promises untold riches and threatens terrible danger. Into this situation, players introduce their work forces, search for valuable minerals, mine and refine them, and sell them on the open ore market. They may make a fortune, or they may go broke trying.

Belter is an economic game set in the untamed asteroid belt of the 21st Century. Amid the shattered rubble of the former fifth planet, players prospect and mind planetoids for mineral wealth; wealth which they will use to expand their corporate empires.

While Earth is an overcrowded world, the new frontier is the asteroid belt lying between Mars and Jupiter. There it is possible to find riches enough for a lifetime, or a quick end to life. More than a simple boardgame, Belter introduces elements of role-playing and imagination while realistic constraints (supply and demand, supervised elections, physical violence) shape the course of the game.

Belter is a political game of cooperation and competition between rival companies engaged in mining the asteroid belt. After an initial period of prospecting and mining, the time comes for a government structure to be established, with players competing for positions of power and influence.

Images were taken from a personal set. They are not of a great quality...but then again, neither was the original game.
