Why It's On The List
- A pile of clever mechanisms interlocking create a compelling set of puzzles... but that would just be mish-mash if it wasn't for the excellent production and graphics to accompany it.
Tips & Tricks:
- The cardinal rule of these kind of games - you can NOT do everything. Make good decisions about what you will and will not try to focus on. (A little bit of everything is a risky strategic choice.)
- You need to invest some energy early on in building your income, especially when playing just the base game.
- Often, early point-scoring to get you past the first threshold will allow you to choose the best spot on one of the goals... and that will give you a clear picture of what to chase through the mid- and end-game.
Extras
- The Space Agencies expansion is really good - it not only adds new alien species but also a TM: Prelude-ish way to have asymmetric starting positions.
- I reviewed both the base game and the expansion recently for the Opinionated Gamers site.
- This is the eighth new-to-the-top-100 game on the countdown.
