Space Explorers

As always from 25th Century, great production quality and nice mechanics.

I love, love the art and aesthetic of this game! 1960s spacecraft and artwork, everything looks great. And it shares some engine-building mechanics with Splendor, which helped me pick it up quickly. Youve got to pay attention to your active bonuses, and remember to use them, but once you get going, its simple. I really like the limited-economy research tiles mechanic, where you pay tiles not to a bank, but to another player; makes for some interesting strategic options. We play with a couple of extra project tiles, just to keep the game going, because its fun. Plays well as a 2-player game.
