AEGSpace Base | Space Exploration Engine Building Interactive Family Dice Game | Blend of Strategy & Luck | Easy to Learn | 2-5 Players | Ages 10+

This fast and easy resource management game has a unique feature: when other players are rolling for their resources YOU can get resources as well. You have ships on 12 sectors. On your turn you roll to see which sectors give you resources. When you buy ships you deploy them to a specified sector and move that ship to the top of your board. On OTHER players' turns you get resources from the ships at the top of your board. This keeps every player engaged during the entire run of the game. 2-5 players, but there's an expansion for up to 7.

I picked up this game based on recommendations from some gaming podcasts. I had heard it compared to Machi Koro (in terms of gameplay). Although that is s popular game, I’ve never played it so I can’t really speak on the accuracy of that comparison. What I can say is that I have really enjoyed playing this game. I have played it seven times, now, and have enjoyed every play of it. I’ve played it with both friends and family members and everyone else has liked it, too - even my wife who was really apprehensive about playing it based on the theme.Speaking of theme, the theme of this game is very light and has nothing, really, to do with the game play of the game, so if you, like my wife, see all of these rainbow-colored spaceships and cartoony-looking illustrations, don’t let it put you off.Game play if pretty quick, regardless of the number of people playing. This is the case because everyone can be doing things and scoring points on everyone else’s turn. The game is essentially a card-based engine-building game. For anyone not familiar with the term “engine building,” that means that you are using cards that correspond to dice rolls to score points. By adding to your sets of cards or modifying your cards, you increase your opportunities to score points and start scoring higher amounts of points later in the game. The first person to 40 points wins.I have not, yet, picked up any of the expansions to this game, but I may do so. I think the game is very good, as is, but may get an expansion just to add more players and cards to the game.

Spacebase was a breeze to learn the core concept of the game and play style. The more you play the better the strategy becomes with how you buy and upgrade your spaces. This game is great with 2 (about 30 minutes to play) and works up to 5 without getting overly long in the play time. Essentially, players roll dice, use either the individual dice numbers or the sum of the dice to get money, income, victory points. Players use money to buy upgraded cards for dice slots on their board, previous cards get flipped to gain rewards on other players turns. First player to 40 victory points triggers the end of the game, game ends with the player that goes last in turn order. Overall a really enjoyable game that is not too heavy on strategy to intimidate new to board game players.

Very fun game!

This game is pretty fun It has a lot of replay value. I enjoyed playing with my friends. It was the game of the week for us.

Almost everything is great in this game. Almost zero downtime for any player , colorful and easy to learnThere is some need for better clarity around some card abilities esp. around ability charging and time for activation - but overall self explanatory...Highly reccomnded for ages 10 and up.

This is a very fun game that has a unique feature that players advance on their opponents turns too! This makes it less boring waiting your turn!

Easy to learn and teach, and delivers lots of fun. High value, and lost of plays ahead.
