Review by Little Blue on 12/21/2014.
It's... beautiful!

I've just played this single player, and it's brilliant. It feels like a space game, exploring feels tense, and I feel like the Shivans are going to pop out at me from the fog of war.

The complexity and connections make this a truly epic map.

6/5

Review by Nathan on 12/23/2014.
Wow. That was brutal. The combat, I mean. Epic map!

Only a couple of minor suggestions -

1 - Even though you have the characters indicating the linkages for each dimensional gateway, it would be helpful to have some visual connection - perhaps a dashed line of a different color.

2 - Same thing re the Spacetime Bends and the Collapse, the Burst, the Skipgate, the Warp Transit and everything else that crosses a long distance.

3 - The northwestern part of the map seems a bit overpowered, primarily because you can control the entire western portion of the board by holding just 4 territories - Lasss, Grand Mar, Ruthana and X23BB (or Y01AS). To counteract this advantage, I recommend linking the eastern dimensional gateways to those in the west, perhaps Urnaka and Rakarra to Grand Mar and Lasss.

Amazing, looks great and gameplay is tough and you really have to strategize.

Great map, I really love it, just if it's going to be a team game, make sure you bring in Gift cards!

Impressive, but very difficult to actually use. It's hard to watch your back, it seems misbalanced, and far inferior players can easily beat strong ones if they happen to start in a good spot.

The dead-ends and having to back out of planetary systems is a pain, but the worm-holes and unusual connection scheme makes for a challenging game.

Excellent map, tho I would personally cut down on the number of multi-region stations. It would make traversing the map much easier.
