Some six days past the release date of the notice, it can hardly be called news, but in the interest of documenting the story in our own archives, here it is.

Ambrosia has, in an peculiar move, released a board game version of its Escape Velocity: Nova game. Well we say peculiar only because our unfounded assumption is that computer games have somewhat superseded board games and that such a reversal seems backwards. But like we said, that is an unfounded assumption and what Ambrosia is calling an "expandable sci-fi card-driven board game" is here.

As per the press release. "In this game, you will take the role of a trader captain in a vast and dangerous galaxy. There are pirates, aliens, and enemies lurking behind every asteroid, waiting to strike when you least expect it. Meanwhile, there are vast riches to acquire, intriguing missions to run, and new technologies to discover."

The company claims that virtually everything you can do in the computer version is represented in this version and that even younger players will be able to grasp the game.
