Played this game with my brother this past weekend and both of us had a blast, even just using the basic ships that come in the core set. It's easy to make this 2player game a game for even more players by teaming up and assigning individual ships to each player. And once you start adding on the ships from the expansions, your options for play are limitless. By our second game, my brother and I were already dreaming up custom rules scenarios with moving asteroids, etc. Your imagination is the limit in this super easy to learn strategy game.
