Star Smuggler is a solitaire science fiction board game published in 1982 by Heritage/Dwarfstar. The player takes the part of Duke Springer, a trader who works to pay off a debt by buying and selling whatever goods and services he can obtain with his starship. The setting is the ten-system Pavonis Sector, and the game is built for one player. A reviewer in The Space Gamer, issue 60, described it as an interesting if not altogether successful attempt at creating a one-player role-playing game, and gave it a qualified recommendation. A further review appeared in Dragon, issue 66. The article on the game is short, so this entry records what the sources state about its publisher, setting, premise and reception and does not go beyond them.
