Onward to Venus*

Based on the graphic novels by Dr. Grordbort, the game features a satirical take on the British Empire in the late 19th century, focusing on the exploitation of the solar system rather than Africa. Players aim to build an empire by racing around planets and moons to claim game pieces that provide various advantages. The game is straightforward, playable in about 90 minutes, and involves managing crisis tokens that can lead to disastrous events like Martian invasions and robot rebellions.
