Thanks for the playthru and review! As a kid, I spent many, many hours with Civ 2 and MOO 2. I don’t really do any pc gaming anymore, and I haven’t found a board game that captures those types of games as a whole. But I really do think that Beyond the Sun did a great job capturing the feel of those old-school tech trees. I did find the area majority portion of the game a bit lackluster (altho I’m not a big fan of area majority/control). In this game, Ii looks like they tried to improve that portion of the game, so I’m tempted to give this new game a try.

Should be renamed “For a dude and a dollar”😉

Thanks for a great playthrough. Now I’ve just got to get my copy from Essen.

Thanks for another great video. Appreciate the comparison with "Beyond the Sun" and the fact that you like both. I'm a big fan of BtS... two questions about the game.. .1) the strength of the settlers/soldiers seemed a bit awkward - did you think it worked effectively? 2) How would you compare this to Millennia - which is also a 'tech tree' game that you both really seemed to like?

Is token for settler or soldier not faling down easly? How it works if somebody hit a table? 😊

Which do you prefer for 2 player games only, this or the Sun?

I own BtS, but the space theme always knocks a game down a partial point for me. The tile laying mechanism in this game makes me want to sell BtS now to get BtH. That part looks way more satisfying than going to the same physical location on the board for different systems in BtS.

Game looks great. Loved Beyond the Sun. But why oh why can't these guys use a standard box size??? Thanks for the vid

BTS had a cool setting, they just made no effort to demonstrate it with the art as it looks like a blank spreadsheet. I understand why they rethemed it but it's a bit sad to see they've gone with the typical "serious looking men on a boring beige background" approach we've seen a billion times before already
