I love space! I love space games! This game keeps calling to me but I don't know if my friends will like it. I'm sure I'll take the plunge one day. Thank you guys for making my favorite board game content!

[@Greggiexplore]

Awesome review! The game is on pre-order in Australia.

[@alittlebirdtweetme]

I like how you present both opinions and give options. Great review and awesome presentation!

[@blackwiza24]

well I want this game even more now!

[@BoardGameHangover]

You should ;)

[@wicaksonoadi1035]

Having the game for few months now, have played a few times solo, 2, 3 and 4-players. LOVE every single play. My negative is the rulebook, it could've been clearer about what each planet and corporation do.

Great video was wondering if i should get it or not and you helped me make that decision. I loved Isles of cats so this is a no brainer. Have you tried Honey Buzz? It's kind of like a polypoly type game but with hexes. :)

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I have actually, once. However I do not remember it so well. I should give it one more go then. /Jānis G.

Shame the publisher not simply make another campaign as successful ks usually do. You guys are awesome.

[@BoardGameHangover]

There actually is going to be a new campaign in June.

[@shineLouisShine]

​@@BoardGameHangover That sounds much more reasonable now... (Capitalism wise)

New York Zoo is my favorite.

[@BoardGameHangover]

I did love playing that one with my family.

[@brownie1985]

Have you guys ever played My City? You didn't mention it - also polyominoes and very similar.

[@Tamahome109]

I wish I knew where to find this game right now.

[@BoardGameHangover]

It is coming to KS again in June.

[@aorakis5795]

Hi there, is this game any good Solo-wise ? cheers

[@BoardGameHangover]

Hey! It's pretty ok solo, but wouldn't be our go to

[@aorakis5795]

​@@BoardGameHangover hello. Thanks. What sort of solo is it? Is it a beat your own score or is there is an IA that will score points too? Cheers

[@RamyASMR]

👍

[@viesturskokarevics2427]

I give this game same rating as JT.

[@bestatstartrek2179]

You know what’s bad about the game . Good luck finding it

[@BoardGameHangover]

The new KS campaign for it is coming this June. So stay tuned.

[@wicaksonoadi1035]

​@@BoardGameHangover Wow really? I already have the game and still got excited about the news! Will it bring some revised rules and upgraded components, etc.

[@nihlify]

I just saw it turn up at some online stores. Not sure if there's been a new print or something. Waiting for a new kickstarter just guarantess you'll have to wait another year, even if they add an expansion or whatever.

[@filippomaradei6328]

Great review as always :) Had this game on my wishlist for a long time, but it's impossible to find - it's out of stock anywhere! One tip for the reviews structure, if I may: why don't you add a section for the player count... or, more directly, about solo playing ("can you play it solo? how does it flow? is it good?") and maybe put some info - even just on screen - about the language dependence ("does it have light/moderate/extensive in-game text?"). I think it'd help solo and not native-English gamers :) Anyway, just my 2 cents :) keep it up! PS: less "polynoyominyo" games, more "tile-placement" games :D

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks for the suggestion, we will figure it out where to put the solo part. We actually used to do the player count, but it was not as important, and if some player count is bad we usually include it in the Not For You section.
