1. how good the map scales? 2. do we move progressively on the map or we can jump anywhere like pax renaissance ? 3. does depth or mechanics help 2 player game?( like pax renaissance ) 4. many mention runaway leader problem. there is no kind of catchup mechanics? push luck helps?
We haven't played pax Renaissance so can't compare. But the map scales pretty well. You shut half down at 2 players. You usually move one, unless you are using the spaceports then you move across the map. There is much less runaway leader in a 3 or 4 player game because people naturally target the leader. In a two player game you don't have that natural catchup, but because the game ends as soon as someone reaches a point threshold, it isn't too painful as it will just end once someone gets too far ahead.
