Star Cluster One is a play-by-mail game published by The Buchanan Company.
History and development
The game was designed by Steve Jackson.[1]
Gameplay
Star Cluster One was a game in which players built bases and ships to take over a star cluster recovering from a recent super-nova.[2] Exploration using diplomacy and intrigue to discover habitable worlds was part of gameplay.[1]
Reception
W.G. Armintrout reviewed Star Cluster One in The Space Gamer No. 48.[2] Armintrout commented that "I'm not particularly pleased with Star Cluster One. In my opinion it could use a shot of action [...] and better handling by Buchanan. Right now it is a slow game with a long turn-around time - hardly the perfect combination. Not recommended."[2]
