We review IV studio’s biggest upcoming sci-fi game on kickstarter! This combination of genres is a worker placement with lots of negotiation for trading on almost every single turn! It’s also from the same universe as the deck builder Moonrakers. You manage the cube economy carefully (making sure to play around the revolt), and have a hidden vote at the end of every of the 3 rounds. There’s sci-fi card management and some area control-isms as well. Do all of the card abilities come together to make this the bigger negotiation game to be after Catan, or maybe you should wait until you have more Euro experience under your belt? Will the different worker types cause you to analysis paralysis in the political landscape?

Games mentioned: Takenoko, Eclipse, Twilight Imperium 4
