I was very eager to get this game. The mechanic is somewhat unique with it's random tile placement decided by the players and its ship movements limited by the movement ruler included in the box. Depending if you get the expansions, you get extra ship classes that move faster or slower but with greater or lower cargo capabilities. This adds an interesting dimension to the game.
The game is very simple : you take different random cargos and bring them to different space stations accross the galaxy. Once done, you can exchange those cargos for ressources (money) that enables you to buy more ships and/or build space stations. You can block other players by stealing their cargos or brawl to gain it.
The most negative part about this game is the components content. The first box that was sent to me had missing components. Not one or two, but at least a dozen combined (planet tiles, star tiles, cargo tiles, ships and ressources). I've contacted BGG for a replacement that they sent me without hesitation.
To my great disappointment, the second box received was even worst than the first one with many more missing components. Everything considered I'm now having a full complete game after 2 mixing the 2 sets.
My humble opinion is that this game is made by someone living in his garage and making manual batches of this game once in a while with no quality control whatsoever. Something I've never seen before are the storing bins included in the box are made of plain paper.
The game has a unique something that would make it highly visible but with the way it is produce, I now understand why I didn't hear about it earlier.
