Its core mechanic is a phase choosing game. Players secretly and simultaneously determine which one of seven phases they will lock in, all reveal at once, then execute the phases in order. Will you build an engine to ramp up VP generation on cheapo production planets? Will you invest in exploration and settle rare and valuable VP rich planets? Or will you rush a military conquest to cut off your opponents before they have a chance to develop their strategy? Game Features ▪ 2 – 4 player with network multiplayer ▪ Single player mode with advanced neural network AI ▪ Five starting worlds and ninety settlement and development cards ▪ Free promo pack included: New Worlds with six additional starting planets ▪ Gathering Storm and Rebel Vs.

I know i really want this becahse it is one of my favourite games but... Well most likely I will end up selling the physical version of the game and just buying everything here more portable (thougj race is very portable) Avaniar Well-Known Member Jul 26, 2016 246 1 18 #4 Avaniar, May 3, 2017 I find the appstore freakin amazing... in the worst sense possible. This app costs 7 us dollars,which is around 5 euros,however on the eu appstore it is 8 euros!!!

I had to INSTANTLY buy both of the expansions ASAP and love the additional mechanics they add to the game. -The Gathering Storm (Exp #1): This expansion adds the concept of goals. These side objectives you can indulge in for some bonus points or ignore completely at your peril to just dominate the old fashioned way. -Rebels vs. Imperium (Exp #2): This expansion's main new tweak is the ability to actually invade and take over other players' military worlds. While the use of these expansions in your game is completely optional, of course, I think you have to include Exp #1 if you want to use Exp #2. Bloodangel Well-Known Member Jan 19, 2011 1,824 46 48 Retail England #10 Bloodangel, May 3, 2017 How long does a game take and is it async? ttcool Well-Known Member Jul 2, 2016 92 0 0 #11 ttcool, May 3, 2017 Just bought it and going thru the 3 tutorials... Looks clean tduringer New Member May 3, 2017 1 0 1 #12 tduringer, May 4, 2017 Async is supported, so right now it's however long you want, although we might roll out timers soon to support folks who want a faster session. If you're playing games against the AI, we see a lot in the 15 - 20 minute range. rod- Well-Known Member Dec 12, 2012 77 0 6 #13 rod-, May 4, 2017 Does that open up some opportunities for arbitrage? Can an EU account spend, say, a US gift card? Unstablefan Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Feb 22, 2013 858 12 18 #14 Unstablefan, May 4, 2017 14.97? I'm not even thinking twice.

Thx currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #17 currymutton, May 4, 2017 I think the only way to deal with it is to play a few actual games. Then read the manual and/or the tutorials It is not that complicated, but I think it should have been there in the first place. gquiller Well-Known Member Nov 15, 2011 330 3 18 #18 gquiller, May 4, 2017 Good Enough for now... skoptic Well-Known Member Apr 3, 2015 634 82 28 #19 skoptic, May 4, 2017 Last edited: May 4, 2017 With all ports of decent physical games, I go watch a Radho runs through or dice tower review on YouTube - always a good investment of time.
