About this deal
Every game excels at different player counts, for me at two player this board game doesn’t shine quite so brightly. It’s a simple elegant system that not only solves potential hiccups but serves as a solid way to reinforce the game’s strategic potential.

If you already bought sleeves for the smaller size, please let me know and I’ll personally send you a reimbursement.Depending on the distribution, the Automa will then proceed to the second tier designated as average tokens and so on.

The special powers on both crew and tiles are very varied and spice proceedings up like a tot of rum.
It’s a streamlined, smooth experience, which means that you can be all done inside an hour, even with five or six players. These double-sided tiles allow players to change the set-up in an infinite number of configurations!

In contrast the loot token bag is a little lack lustre and I did think that this could’ve been printed with a cool design. I also love the artwork, I know it’s been polarising compared with the original 2012 edition, but I think the character cards shine and it has a very clear and cute aesthetic.For example, an arrow pointing left with the numerical value of three stipulates that she will play the third card from the left of her tableau.
