Master of Orion: Conquest (2017)

About this game

Description from the publisher: Master of Orion: Conquest is a two-player dueling deckbuilder. Play as one of two species in the galaxy — the humans and the shape-changing, mimicking Darloks — as you build and fight your way to victory. Explore the galaxy to find new planets to colonize and use their production to build your fleets. Destroy the enemy's home world and become the Master of Orion!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
