Space Expatriate (2022)

About this game

Space Expatriate is a competitive 2-4 player adventure that will carry you to the world of space stations and terraforming robots for 30-90 minutes. Players will act as companies and operate with four decks of cards representing portable space station modules of different types: some deliver resources from Earth and use them for experiments and studies, others increase the company's influence in the international arena. When the time comes, a group of modules is undocked for a colonization mission that will bring permanent benefits and Victory Points. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
