- Don't you hate it when you want your humble space trading company to colonize star system Wolf 1061, only to find out that Big Giant Space Company beat you to it? Well maybe you can beat the competition to the stars in this new space exploration game from GMT Games. Will it be full of stars? Or will it never slip the surely bonds of Earth? Cody investigates.

Always enjoy your reviews.
I just got this game. I actually bought it based on your review. I really enjoy the game! Glad I saw your review
Fantastic! Happy to help, Sean!
I like this game too! One of the things that I like about SpaceCorp is that you can use other players' infrastructure on your turn, but you have to pay them to do it. It sort of naturally leads to specialized corporations without the game forcing it.
Indeed. Cool mechs.
Thank you Cody - another great review. Love the Twilight Struggle song at the end :)
Thanks! You were a great cavalryman!
Love the videos!!! So great to hear your thoughts and commentary on the games you cover.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it and I'm happy to help.
I love your videos and I love your intros. I watch all of your vidoes to catch your puns and jokes and you often make me laugh out loud. Love your format and presentation. And I have followed your advice many times and they have been solid, both for buying and avoid buying. Thanks for sharing and making videos. Great stuff!
Hey, thank you, Glenn. That really means a lot to me. Happy to help.
Cody!!! Man, I never thought I'd see this review but I really liked this game. My only problem was era three. I felt it went way too fast given the amount of cards you need to move. But It was a real interesting game.
Yeah, I've not played a game quite like it.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Yup. Seems like one of kind. I looked everywhere for anything like it but only found High Frontier which I'm not really ready for yet. This seems more accessible. Looking forward to playing it again! Glad you liked it.
"I will not name the game"
High Frontier.....
YIKES!!!
I've enjoyed my plays of SpaceCorp... my single gripe - the solo game is too easy. Which sounds crazy coming from a Butterfield design... but it is. The random nature of the AI deck isn't quite aggressive enough imo, and it's not difficult to take down. Given his amazing earlier solo designs, this is a dissapointment, and I'll need to mod it in some fashion for a tougher challenge. It took me a slew of tries to get a 16 turn victory in DDay at Omaha beach, and I beat this AI by a margin on the first try... and then did it again on attempt 2.
That's interesting. I have not yet played they solo mode. Thanks for the perspective.
Thanks again!
Thank you!
I think i know the game that remains unnamed. And it shall remain unnamed, because i always forget its name. In fact, that's how i came across SpaceCorp, searching for it.
Ha!
High Frontier innit :P
Ha!
Hey! Would you recommend the game for 2 players or does it really shine at 3+?
Thanks!
I've only ever played it with four, so I can't comment. I think it would be good with two, however.
Butterfield is the GOAT
He's great, indeed!
What was the nameless game you did not like? High Frontier? Destination Neptune?
Well if I told you then it wouldn't remain nameless.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Coy - dy are we?
@@juliesquirrel5269 You know me too well. One of the games you mentioned. I'll leave it at that.
My money is on High Frontier
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer you can say its high frontier, we won't judge you lol
Wish this game had more thematic mechanics.... Like move means delta V for example
... Its too abstract to me.
It's still quite fun.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer oh yes it is, I won't deny that. One of my favorite games especially the solo mode.
Thanks for the great review Cody. Is it possible to speak a bit slower? Some are not native english and also it is a bit stressful to listen. I am a sensitive boy :-)
Thanks. Unfortunately, when I get excited my mouth goes a mile a minute!
Why not set the playback speed to 0.75x or something?
Friend ship lol
TH-cam stopped recommending you and then recommended this, possibly because I saw a video about Elon Musk? I don't know.
I'm supposed to try this solitaire but I keep not getting around to it.
I haven't played it solitaire but a friend of mine did and really enjoyed it.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer That's good to hear!
This game was a pretty big disappointment for me. In my opinion, it's glorified Ticket to Ride, which is not my jam.
I can understand that this game is not for everybody, but I am having a hard time seeing it as a "glorified Ticket to Ride".
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer - Well, the main mechanism is to either draw cards or play a bunch of cards of the same color to affect the board. In my opinion, the core mechanisms are exactly the same. They are just different in what you do with the sets you collect.
I do like the multiple boards and eras though.
@@jacobwilliams3206 I guess I can see what your saying up to a point, but the similarities, I believe, are largely superficial. To each their own.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Others have said the same thing to me. Some times mechanics are so unique/innovative/memorablen that for me it's impossible to not disassociate them. For example I also call Rising Sun glorified Puerto Rico. :) I love both games, so I don't mean it disparagingly in this context.
