Oh my this game looks amazingly fun!!

[@MrForsaken5]

great job on the summary.

Really fun video! I'm looking forward to the continuing campaign!
A couple of rules nitpicks:
1) The Persuade roll is based on a Trader's Skill, which means that your Captain will no doubt have more dice than the rest of the crew for those rolls.
2) Harvesters only get one action, but they have an ability that gives them a free attack if they end their move in melee with a character.
3) Event cards show ranges of Hostility Levels. So one might say "Relaxed - Watch Your Back", which means that text applies to all levels between Relaxed and Watch Your Back, which I think includes Guarded.
4) Purge spawn at the beginning of the Purge phase, right before all the Purge minis move/attack.
None of this affected how much fun the game was to watch, and this game is definitely house-rule friendly, so feel free to disregard any and all of that if you want. :)

Yeah, I got all this figured out during additional sessions. Game 1 was a lot of mistakes :)

I just ordered it and should get sometime this week.

Is awesome. This game is fantastic. I have this one all in and the first born game all in also. I enjoy this game so much. Is as deep and involved as an rpg but still plays like a board game. I’m not a sci-fi fan but this captivated me.

[@zendrel4382]

Thanks for this! Getting my First born stuff next week. Can't wait to play.

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

Hope you enjoy the game.

Building the let's get to the shuttle expansion atm.

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

Take your time... it can be a bit frustrating to build.

I thought the core space game you use two crews instead of one? But here I see you are using one crew. Are there rules to use just one? I got the first born set because it's just one crew and that is what I prefer. Thanks.

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

Two crews for a two-player game... I play solo.
