Some time after watching your review and figuring I'd never find this game I found it at a yard sale today, yay!

I'm glad you like Forbidden Stars! It is my top board game of all time.

Just wanted to add that we think it's also a great game for 2 players. It's just more of a calculatable chess experience with the advantage that both players are constantly engaged.

I'm a big fan of this one. I agree that it feels a lot like TI in the movement and careful planning to rush the objectives but it completely strips out the negotiation so isn't quite as involved. The combat system is one of the best ever devised IMO and even though bad rolls and draws can be rough it's still way less random than chucking a fistful of d10s and hoping for the best.

Really hope it gets the reprint, even though it will have to be with another skin. 👍

I was just wondering what size are the coin capsules that you are using to protect the tokens? Thanks.

Love the game. My only gripe is Combat. It's just too long when playing against people who have trouble deciding simple tactics.
