*Full review will be published soon* So, I got this game after the kickstarter mostly because when the KS was going on I had broken my wallet beyond immediate repair. I picked it up a bit of a steal and I'm pretty darn content with it. My greatest advice on this game: It is NOT for everyone. If you like sentinels of the multiverse and want the next step in terms of complexity and number of things going on, really do check this out and *give it more than one play*. It takes a bit to wrap your head around.

Based on first play, I love this game, but I'm not sure how balanced it is with player count or whether it is actually winnable. It's different from any other game in my huge collection, combining deck-building, area control and various other mechanics. The theme is bonkers (intergalactic gangster squid, anyone?) in a good way and the artwork is as quirkily charming as Sentinels of the Multiverse. Given Sentinels is in my top 10 favourite games, rating may rise to a 10 if it stands up to repeat plays. The game is not for everyone, however. It is extremely fiddly - probably as much as Mage Knight.
I rated the weight as Medium, because there is a lot to check each turn phase to be sure you are activating all the Phase Events on all the Sectors, Missions, Strike Force Ships, and Opposition Ships. After about 10 plays, I'm getting much quicker with the checks and missing fewer events.
This is a hidden gem f a game. It is easy to learn but difficult to master. What will turn off many players is the fact that the game does not force you to play well. I see a lot of people making tactical mistakes and blaming it on the game for letting them do so (deck bloating, allowing the enemy to become overwhelming by not engaging them, etc.) and then giving the game a bad rating, There is a lot of fiddliness and need for awareness of what is going on to play well. I think that it is a a lot of fun, but not a game for teh weak at heart.
I'm, ...not sure what to say here. I do like this game. It has all the ingredients for a great sci-fi co-op, like SotM in space. It doesn't feel like a 'deckbuilder', 'cause all of the stuff you add to your 'deck' immediately vanishes (played/discarded or attached to your ship). Still fun, just not what I was expecting. Lots of potential for growth - I really wish it had lived long enough for the universe to get fully fleshed out with expansions... X_x
