I love the physical size of this game! The box is small so it fits in my carry-on, and when playing, the play area fits within even the smallest desk area. It might even squeeze onto the tray table of an airplane with some good space management! I find this game is highly addicting. Not so easy that I win every game, in fact, I only win about 1 in 3 games, so it keeps me wanting more. I like the concept, the rule book is small and relatively well-written, although I did have to refer to it a several times for the first few games. With over 15 plays on it now, I can play one game in under 30 minutes without reference to the rule book. I did have to watch some videos online to get the hang of it at first, so i suppose the rule book might have been a bit more descriptive. The multiple ship boards that come in the game provide great re-playability and good diversity. You actually have to play differently based on which ship you are playing. The variable powers of each ship are very cool. My only gripe is minor: there is not a play mechanism that allows you to capitalize on dice rolls that you cannot use. In other words, sometimes, you will roll a dice combo where only 2 out of the 6 dice are usable. For example, in the case that your shields are already full, you might roll 3 dice that only allow you to recharge your shields, so often these dice get wasted. I wish there was a way to, say turn in any 3 exact dice to take one action of your choice. At any rate, still a great fun little game.
