Fantastic game with solar system board with planet orbits and much more. Seems really potential for my personal GOTY 2024 because of its many possibilites of strategy, depth and clear rules.

Don’t care for it. Resources are far too tight. Lots of good ideas but it’s not a lot of fun when you can’t do much in a turn.

High complexity game with very little depth to back it up. The theme is really cool and the mechanic of the orbiting solar system is awesome! If the scanning action and blue data techs were removed, this would be a less busy and an overall better game in my eyes.

Initial play revealed nice thematic integration and fun decision making. There's also a large stack of cards to explore and the simple variety of aliens discovered also lends to replay. The play is a bit uneven as you can continue with free actions for as long as you can - so plays will run long. Feels quite unique with the rotating board and thematic actions. It's really good! I need to play again as the rating might go highter.

Fun euro with a nice theme. I really like the mid-game reveal and I'm sure new aliens will get released as expansions. Negatives are that it takes too long (also since it can sometimes be difficult to plan your turn while others are going since the game-state can change) and that there is definitely a snowball effect which can happen in the game.

That was fun. Well-integrated Euro with good implementation of the whole traveling-the-solar-system challenge. Still didn't particularly feell like Aliens and space-travel, but still a competent design.

Simple actions, complicated combos, great game. I feel it thematic and always fresh. Many good ideas like the multi-use cards which can be discarded from the pool refreshing it, or to chose yourself the game-end scoring. And, of course, the always rotating solar system. I want to play it many times!
