Space Base
In Space Base, players assume the roles of Commodores of a small fleet of ships. Ships begin docked at their stations and are then deployed to sectors as new ships are commissioned under your command. Use cargo vessels to engage in trade and commerce; mining vessels to build reoccurring base income; and carriers to spread your influence. Establish new colonies for a new Commodore in a sector to gain even more influence. Gain enough influence and you can be promoted to Admiral!
What is Space Base

Space Base is a quick-to-learn, quick-to-play dice game using the core "I roll, everyone gets stuff" mechanism seen in other games. It's also a strategic engine builder using a player board (your space base) and tableaus of ship cards you can buy and add to your board. The cards you buy and the order you buy them in have interesting implications on your engine beyond just the ability on the card you buy, making for a different type of engine construction than seen in similar games. Players can take their engine in a number of directions: long odds and explosive gains, low luck and steady income, big end-game combos to launch from last to first, or a mix-and-match approach. Ultimately, Space Base is a game you can just start playing and teach everyone how to play in the first round or two and has a satisfying blend of dice-chucking luck and challenging strategic choices.

What the community says about Space Base
Azaroso pero muy divertido. Es un juego de producción y desarrollo de tablero en el que tienes oportunidad de jugar hasta en el turno de otros jugadores. El arte caricaturesco super colorido le da ese toque especial a este juego, es super satisfactorio ver como cada carta se fusiona con el tablero perfectamente. El juego es muy simple, por lo que lo recomendaría a cualquier tipo de jugador. Lo malo del juego es que el tablero es liso y los marcadores de jugador son simples cubitos que se pueden mover muy fácil accidentalmente. Independientemente de eso, lo recomiendo mucho.
