Newark-based Ergo Sum Games has announced the upcoming release of a Dan Dare: Adventures in Space strategy game.
Due for release in October 2016, Dan Dare: Adventures in Space is a strategy game for 2-6 players, for ages 12 & up.
“The original Dan Dare is back,” the games maker, whose other games include New Earth and Alien Skies, say in a web site statement.
“Britain’s favourite sci-fi hero is finally here in a board game extravaganza. All the main characters are represented in retro space adventures based on the original stories and escapades in a time when the solar system was teeming with alien life – some good and some very, very bad…”
