“This is a really fun little game, which is essentially a complex 4X board game (think Twilight Imperium) in the guise of a quick-to-play multiplayer game. That means all the painful bookkeeping that board games like that require is done…”

“This is very much of a hidden gem, a strong 'quick and simple' 4X strategy game with resources, planets, fleets and light deck-building. Although it is a spin-off of Stellaris, and takes place in the same universe which I think is an…”

“I am glad to have found this gem. It's midway between a complex boardgame and a really involved 4X and I believe there is a lot of market for this. Others here are complaining about all the things they game could be, but for the low price…”
