Traveller Customizable Card Game
Client: Horizon Games
Trade, fight, and explore in the remains of the Third Imperium.
Traveller is a card game adaptation of the classic RPG of the same name. As captains of independent trading vessels, players will have to fight piracy, insolvency, and each other as they sail among the stars.
While the game is non-collectible (with no random cards), it’s easily extendable with many expansions; our challenge was to create card templates that expressed not only the mechanics of the base set, but of any present and future expansions yet to be released. We used a slick, clean sci-fi style throughout the components, packaging, and iconography.
More about Traveller
Traveller is a classic science fiction role-playing game (RPG) originally designed by Marc Miller and first published in 1977. Set in a vast universe filled with adventure, exploration, and danger, Traveller allows players to create characters and embark on interstellar journeys in a futuristic setting.
In Traveller, players take on the roles of travelers, explorers, mercenaries, or traders, known as "travellers." They navigate a universe known as Charted Space, which consists of thousands of star systems connected by jump routes, allowing for faster-than-light travel using spacecraft.
Character creation in Traveller is a significant aspect of the game. Players generate their characters by rolling dice to determine attributes, skills, and backgrounds. Characters can come from various backgrounds, including military, mercantile, scientific, or criminal, each providing different advantages and abilities.
The core gameplay of Traveller revolves around storytelling, role-playing, and problem-solving. Players collaborate with the game master (often referred to as the referee) to create and experience adventures within the game world. These adventures may involve exploration of unknown planets, encounters with alien species, space combat, trading, diplomacy, or any number of other scenarios limited only by the imagination of the players and the referee.
One of the defining features of Traveller is its emphasis on realism and sandbox-style gameplay. The game world is open-ended, allowing players to explore and interact with the universe in any way they choose. Additionally, Traveller incorporates detailed rules for spaceship design and space travel, adding depth and complexity to the gameplay for those interested in science fiction technology and mechanics.
Over the years, Traveller has evolved through various editions and supplements, each expanding on the game universe and adding new content for players to explore. It has remained popular among fans of science fiction RPGs for its rich setting, flexible gameplay, and emphasis on storytelling and player creativity.
Overall, Traveller offers players the opportunity to immerse themselves in a dynamic and expansive science fiction universe, where they can explore the cosmos, encounter strange and wondrous worlds, and forge their own destinies among the stars.
