Crystal Ship is a 4-6 player, 2.5 hour game about ideology, politics, and negotiation aboard a generation ship bound for an exoplanet. You are a political faction attempting to make your mark on society. The citizens of the ship, characters who make up your party, and policies you vote on all have an ideology. Your faction, however, has no consistent ideology, only a consistent desire to be the most respected in success or least culpable in failure.
