I love this game. Glad you enjoyed it! I had a feeling you would. Hope this game gets a lot more attention. It deserves it.

Our group really loves this game, though we find the aliens on the pink moon to be a bit 'fiddly' rules-wise.

I have been trying to get a copy in the UK for 2 years.... Picked one up on a recent trip to Seattle.. I'm happy that I have the Eagle Gryphon copy with the better rule book...

The Eagle Gryphon Games version has a cleaned up rule book that is much better I think. Really liked this game a lot!

Intriguing and very colorful game 😄
Pulled the trigger on this as I found a highly discounted copy with a damaged box. I usually play solo, I will have to multi-hand this most of my plays, but it looks deep enough for some fun time.

Thank you Paul & friends for the vid.

Watching the game played really helped me get started with this game on BGA. Thanks guys!

Just wish it had a solo mode.

1:08:42 No one caught this, but but whoever was playing Pink (upper right on screen), took their ship from their supply, rather than their board when activating a checked ability. This tells me everyone should put their supply of ships well away from their player boards, possibly into a "general supply" and retrieve them from there instead of having them laying next to their player boards where they can be mistakenly picked up.

1:52:47 - Rulebook page 13: “At the Beginning of Round 4, in addition to the 2 tiles revealed for this round, reveal the last 2 tiles as well [ALL 4 final tiles]. If the last 2 tiles are identical, switch the right-wing [of the senate] tiles so that you have different law tiles during round 4 and 5.”

One of the best games of 2023 along with Revive

Thank goodness you made a video on this, just discovered the game on bga and the "official" how to play was very disjointed. Sad that this game does not appear to be available from anywhere :(

Paul, I'm disappointed. I finally played my copy a few weeks ago and I didn't have a Gaming Rules! video then. Where were you when I needed you?! Obvious kidding aside, wonderdul game and I'm glad you now have a video up for it!

@ericthompson463 2 years ago

I'm just asking for those who see this. Do you really like this format? I love this channel, but the small board makes seeing what's going on near impossible for any level of meaningful engagement. I would argue that his tutorial videos to setup and play (previous format) are the best in the industry.

Comment for the algo :)

@david6294 2 years ago

Not impressed with what I'm seeing. Hate the look of the board and the game just seems like a bunch of random stuff thrown together with no real purpose.
