Read the full game description

Star Smuggler is a solitaire game of tense adventure in the far future. No opponent is necessary, as the Event Booklet takes you through a pre-programmed sequence of encounters which is different each time you play the game. For each event, you, as star smuggler Duke Springer, must make the decisions that will make you huge profits - or may cost you your life. Additional box copy: "You know all the tricks, dirty or otherwise - all the seedy spaceport bars and the hard-up colonies where they don't ask too many questions. You live your life one jump ahead of the law. You're the scum of the Sector - you're a STAR SMUGGLER."
