Very great surprise this almost unknown game that puts us in command of a race of humans to conquer the galaxy. We really like the games of resource management, and this is its greatest exponent. No military option, only expertise in the collection, use and sharing of materials and minerals which gives us this game will boost us to victory.

It plays well with 4 and 5 players, and a little looser with 3. It misses a mode for 2 players and perhaps the addition of a sixth. Within half an hour we should have clinched the game.
