Absolutely fantastic, when you open the box if feels daunting but it's not that bad, nice and easy to pop out and set up, and once you've done that, you're literally set up for all future games due to the player trays! The game itself is great, I played a 2 player (2-3 hours learning) and 6 player game (4-5 teaching and still learning), and they were both great fun, the 6 player game was nothing but chaos in a good way, people waging war, exploring, colonising, all the good things 4x games do!

Wonderful 4X that plays much faster than its seems! I like the massive variety of ways to score and the fuzzy nature of determining who's winning in the middle of play.

An excellent game and (imho) way better than twilight imperium 4. Good mechanics. Clean and precise play with little ambiguity. Combat that actually works and is fun for both sides. A joy to play and doesn't take all day either.

Very long game but otherwise fun if you have at least half a day of spare time. Best played in group of four.

A massive, sprawling, open-ended space opera of epic proportions. Upgrade your ships how you want, explore how you want and the battles are rewarding for all involved. One of my favourite games of all time. Brilliant.
