Really enjoyed this one. Only played 2-p, so I’m stoked to try it with higher player counts. As for the art, I actually don’t mind it. This coming from someone who refuses to buy Terraforming Mars because of the egregious art. I think the minimal style makes everything readable at a glance. The player boards could be prettier, but then I worry they wouldn’t be as user-friendly. For now, probably a solid 8/10.

There is a easy solo variant available on BGG that is worth checking out to get used to the mechanics while we await for game nights to reconvene. There are also rumors of an official variant releasing as part of the first expansion.

Got it, could not test it in real life due to real life being the domain of COVID, saw there was a module in TTS. Organized friends to test it, took some time, we did. Found out that in the meantime the mod was removed, and somehow now it doesnt load correctly and decided that Level IV techs images could be replaced by another copy of the Level III deck, so the end of the trial run was me opening my copy to find out actual Level IV cards. So, no perfect conditions for testing, but I think the game is interesting, if a bit dry not only in presentation, but really needs to get some plays so you start to see what you mention - that there is tactical decisions all the way, from what to research to what to colonize to when to abandon plan A (say, I'll go for Level IV techs as quickly as possible) to plan B (hey, that tech she researched is nice but is in a different branch...) God is my witness, when this thing ends, I'll kidnap members of my club to burn on the backlog :)

No doubt there's interesting strategy and depth to the mechanics, it just doesn't look fun to play. Interesting to see what efka likes and doesn't.
