Does memory play a significant factor in this game? As in, if someone has exceptional enough memory to remember how much influence each player has received, will they have a large advantage over others who cannot keep track of all of that information?
That's something I worry about a lot too. Realistically, it would be nearly impossible to track with turn by turn gains, spending on ambassadors, trades, and votes. You'd need to be a hardcore card counter to really try. In practice, I haven't heard of anyone even trying to game that more than, 'that player has a lot of yellow' or seeing the board and understanding a player wants the vote to go one way or another.
Reminds me of a less chaotic Sidereal Confluence, which I adore. Consider me intrigued.
Great preview as always! Spot on that the game is all about table talk.
Thanks for the preview guys.
This game is exactly what my game group enjoys. Can't wait for launch day!!
Great video 😊 this really helped to explain how it works
I keep seeing ads for this game and I love its visual design. Can’t really tell how much I’d like it though want to get a demo of it.
That’s about where it stops. Great art and table presence, mediocre gameplay.
Thx for the fair and honest review.
Between your video and Rahdo's one I realized that this game is definitely not for me. Forced trading, no, thanks. Thanks.
I tell ya, we love this game. IV Studio makes the hits. Did you play it with the Rivals rules for 2 player?
Guess I should have waited till the end to ask :D
Looks interesting, but this is a tough sell since ARCS just dropped

So what you're saying is that this is Catan in space. "Nobody wants your green cubes!"
