Versión reimplementada del Eclipse de toda la vida. Una producción mucho más cuidadada, con insertos utilizables en la partida y demás. En cuanto al juego, yo lo percibo prácticamente igual. Para jugones, que además, no jueguen demasiado lento o se puede ir un poco de tiempo. Es un juego muy guapo.

Me ha encantado, rápido de jugar y espectácular en mesa, relativamente fácil de explicar si jugadores le interesa el tema. La aleatoriedad me agrada me recuerda a stellaris de pc

This is the best space themed game that you will ever play. Even better than Twilight Imperium and the main reason for this is that it can be played in just 3 or 4 hours with the same good feelings. This game is great because you will be talking about the game after the game has finished. Exploration, combat, resource management, asymetry of players and even diplomacy are present in this short galactic game.

Voting a ten just to compensate for the saboteurs who rate an improved version of a 8.0-rated game a 1 because they don't like the Kickstarter campaign or because there is no upgrade pack from the original version – that is, reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the gameplay. I will adjust my score later. I keep it because I really fucking love the game.
