<p>Ok, after a visit to my grandmother I was able to unearth the box with the game. To my delight it was almost completely intact. It's called <em>&quot;Путешествие в космос&quot;</em> (<em>&quot;A trip to space&quot;</em>). It's really hard to find anything related to this game on Google - all the results refer to a newer game by the same title. I'll post some more details, including a scan of the manual and photos of the board, later today or maybe tomorrow.</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>Ok, while waiting for the BoardGameGeek submission to be accepted, I decided to post the photos now for everyone to see. Enjoy!!!</p>
<p>If someone would be interested in the English translation of the manual, let me know.</p>
<p>EDIT 2:</p>
<p>The submission to BoardGameGeek has finally been accepted. You can view it <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/156985/puteshestvie-v-kosmos" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. Have fun!!!</p>

You should submit it to boardgamegeek as well - the more games in the DB there, the better.

Do you know how long it usually takes for a submission to be verified? It's still in the submission queue and I don't know what to expect.

Any update on the BGG submission?
It took a couple of days for my game to be approved, and it's a modern/English game!

<p>I have an archaeological question :). I used to have this space exploration board game that my father bought in the USSR in the 80s. I can't remember its name and I've been trying to find it on Russian websites for several days now, but it seems to be rather obscure and rare. I remember it had a board put together from several separate cardboard pieces (not foldable as usual). There were pictures of various Soviet space probes and satellites printed around the board. The main theme, if I recall correctly, was to put your satellites around major planets. The dominant color on the board was dark blue, with pictures of planets and stars. I have already checked that it was NOT any of the following:</p>

<ul>
<li>Большое космическое путешествие (Great cosmic voyage)</li>
<li>Риск (Risk)</li>
<li>Космос (Cosmos)</li>
<li>В космос (Into the cosmos)</li>
<li>Приключения на Луне (Adventures on the Moon)</li>
</ul>

<p>Any help in identifying this game will be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>EDIT:
I remember one more thing, although not that relevant. The player's pieces look a bit like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3aSpielstein_.jpg">these</a>, although slightly more slender and reminiscent of a space rocket.</p>

Ok, after a visit to my grandmother I was able to unearth the box with the game. To my delight it was almost completely intact. It's called *"Путешествие в космос"* (*"A trip to space"*). It's really hard to find anything related to this game on Google - all the results refer to a newer game by the same title.

EDIT:

Ok, while waiting for the BoardGameGeek submission to be accepted, I decided to post the photos now for everyone to see. Enjoy!!!

If someone would be interested in the English translation of the manual, let me know.

EDIT 2:

The submission to BoardGameGeek has finally been accepted. You can view it [here](http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/156985/puteshestvie-v-kosmos). Have fun!!!
