Interstellar Trail!
Okay, maybe you're not a history nerd.
Maybe you're a sci fi nerd.
Inspired by the same things that made me create the Silk Road game, I made a space game with many of the same mechanics. Other than knowing that our closest star is Alpha Centauri I didn't really know anything about our other closest stars, and that always bothered me. So I made a little trading game amongs our 30 closest neighbors, plus a few fun far flung famous ones like Rigel, Betelgeuse, and Deep Space Nine at approximately where official Star Trek star charts put it because why not (did you know Vulcan is almost directly beween Earth and DS9? They never mentioned that in Star Trek).
Carry as much cargo as you want, but you do have to carry it, which is to say, the greater the mass you're carting around the slower your accelleration will be, so arrive at your destination in a week or get greedy and spend a year twiddling your fingers from point A to point B.
Or just load it up and enjoy the pretty pannable star map (click the "set out" button)
(also, if you ARE a history nerd, you can now play the 1271 setting in my Silk Road game and leap frog Marco Polo himself (play marco polo?) across Eurasia)
