ONLINE Space Base

Tonight's featured game is Space Base. We'll be playing this very fun game on Boardgame Arena (BGA). Game plays in about 1 hour and can be played by 2 - 5 people.

Space Base is a quick-to-learn, quick-to-play dice game using the core "I roll, everyone gets stuff" mechanism seen in other games. It's also a strategic engine builder using a player board (your space base) and tableaus of ship cards you can buy and add to your board. The cards you buy and the order you buy them in have interesting implications on your engine beyond just the ability on the card you buy, making for a different type of engine construction than seen in similar games.

On your turn you will roll 2 six-sided dice. All players will then claim rewards from their cards, either for each individual die or for the sum of the dice. For example, if you roll a 5 and a 6, you could claim rewards for the 5 sector and the 6 sector cards on your board, or you could claim the reward of only the 11 sector card on your board.

Importantly though, if it is not your turn, instead of gaining rewards for cards on your board, you will gain rewards for the "deployed" cards above your board.

After rewards are gained, the active player may buy a new card to place on their board, causing the card currently in that sector to be deployed above their board.

As new cards are bought and deployed your base will get better and better at a faster rate. Don't forget to score points because in the end points are what matters!
