AEG Space Base

This game is fun, easy to learn, and you can play it again and again. It might be good for 11+ and older because of reading needed and to understand complex strategy. One thing that I really like is that even on other players' turns you do things so it's not boring just waiting to get to you. You have 12 bases, each of them gives you something when you roll the dice if you have the right cards. Your opponent(s) get things too, from your roll. You save up point to buy cards for your bases that improve what you can get from your die rolls. You have different paths to victory so it suits different play preferences. It's well balanced, funny, and we've really enjoyed it. We don't have expansions, but the base game is good as it is. Would recommend as a group game but plays well as two players also.

I picked up this game based on recommendations from some gaming podcasts. I had heard it compared to Machi Koro (in terms of gameplay). Although that is s popular game, I’ve never played it so I can’t really speak on the accuracy of that comparison. What I can say is that I have really enjoyed playing this game. I have played it seven times, now, and have enjoyed every play of it. I’ve played it with both friends and family members and everyone else has liked it, too - even my wife who was really apprehensive about playing it based on the theme. Speaking of theme, the theme of this game is very light and has nothing, really, to do with the game play of the game, so if you, like my wife, see all of these rainbow-colored spaceships and cartoony-looking illustrations, don’t let it put you off. Game play if pretty quick, regardless of the number of people playing. This is the case because everyone can be doing things and scoring points on everyone else’s turn. The game is essentially a card-based engine-building game. For anyone not familiar with the term “engine building,” that means that you are using cards that correspond to dice rolls to score points. By adding to your sets of cards or modifying your cards, you increase your opportunities to score points and start scoring higher amounts of points later in the game. The first person to 40 points wins. I have not, yet, picked up any of the expansions to this game, but I may do so. I think the game is very good, as is, but may get an expansion just to add more players and cards to the game.

Vendita e spedizione perfetta, gioco divertente ma lungo e diverso dalla aspettative. Dico così perchè mi aspettavo un Machi Koro più "serio" ed invece qualcosa di diverso c'è, oltre al fatto che la partita viene lunga: eravamo in 6 ed è durata qualcosa come 2h se non erro e ok era la nostra prima, quindi siamo stati lenti e quant'altro ma non c'è stato, almeno per noi, un ritmo che tenesse tutti sull'attenti. Questa forse la pecca, poca interazione diretta, poca sfida offensiva. Ma il gioco rimane gradevole, leggero e di facile apprensione anche nelle regole più complicate. Insomma, gioco carino ma non mi ha ispirato poi troppo. Se dovessi consigliare ad un pubblico medio, generale, o casual un gioco con tiro di dadi opterei più per Machi Koro (con espansione, senza perde tantissimo), che è similare nella meccanica ma più coinvolgente per tutti, anche se appunto meno serio, meno profondo.

Gutes Würfelspiel das in der Lichtgeschwindigkeitsversion gespielt werden sollte

Uno de mis juegos favoritos, lo jugué con unos amigos un par de veces y me decidí a comprarlo. Para 5 jugadores, un juego dinámico en el que no te aburres entre turnos. La única pega es que los dados adicionales para que cada jugador tenga los suyos propios vienen en una expansión.
