Cosmic Cartels is currently designed with a space science fiction theme, but the core route-building and market mechanics could be adapted to other themes with a few minor tweaks. Some examples might include;

A Cyberpunk city, with goods being delivered through jammed streets full of dangers.
Post-apocalyptic rebuilding of civilization, with player cartels rebuilding a trade system between isolated settlements.

A 4X game without the eXtermination

Cosmic Cartels is a game about pushing out the boundaries of known space in the pursuit of profit. Starting on a one of the colonies of Old Earth, players explore the void, establish trade routes and speculate on the markets to establish themselves as the wealthiest Cartel.

Cosmic Cartels is a medium-weight eurogame focused on building trade routes and speculating on a fluctuating market. The players establish routes between planets to transport the 4 commodities, but changing markets can push the value of those goods up or down as the goods are moving. Savvy Cartels must weigh the risk against the potential rewards, as goods in transit might be vulnerable to other cartels and their schemes.

Cosmic Cartels is currently in development.
