Captain of the Stars - Rules and Mechanics

Wrote rules and implemented gameplay mechanics like bounty points, events, and upgrades.

Players explore the fringes of space, establishing settlements and trade routes for victory points.
Also features a combat system allowing for quick but rewarding fights. Violent actions earn bounty points, servnig as an alternate win condition.
