Voidfall

4 pages of iconography, a 40 page glossary, a big set up time, and multiple different actions all lead to a huge barrier to entry. But if you can get past this (and the excellent tutorial scenario helps you do so), there's a great game in here with a vast decision space and multiple strategies and approaches.

Quite impressive heavy box. Learning curve seems high and contains a lot of symbols, but it's clear after 1-2 cycles. I enjoy to planning my strategy and I would play this instead of Anachrony. Maybe too much setup and playtime for my taste (~15 turns in 6 hours 4p game), but might be better 2-3p game. For me, euro games without surprise elements like Voidfall should be shorter. Also doesn't feel true 4X-game for me, I would prefer Eclipse that really have great explore and exterminate elements. Hard to get on the table, best to play with experienced players.

Pretty fun game, excellent puzzle, super complicated. I think I enjoy the simplicity of Omega Centauri better, but not having every single technology available every play makes each play a lot different here in Voidfall. Thumbs up for that.

My new favorite 4x game

Rating from skimming the rule and some KS's clips, and expectation to see 4X game that was advertised.

I surely see 'heavy euro in space theme' from great designers and a publisher look very promising

but since it is heavily advertised as 4X and I'm looking forward to Mindclash's 4X this is disppointing. the implementation of the 4X is just too shallow to make this look like a complex Scythe rather than 4X games. Can't feel any space empire running here.

I will look forward to this and expected to play a heavy euro from the designer, but might not recommend it if one looking for a 4X experience game.
