Very bad review.

Almost no useful info, they only piece of information i got was that its a long game.

Some information about the flow of the game would be nice.

Im not trying to offend you guys, only giving constructive criticism.

The sound is pretty bad.

10 or 11 hours, holy crap, I played with a bunch of people who never played before and we finished in 7, with an experienced group we finish in 4 and a half ! That's with 8 players !!!

The comment was made that you don't like the D10 dice. How so? Would you prefer something like a D6 or rather (as I prefer) a D12 or D20?

This video is useless.

if you can set up a table and leave it. the community forums on fantasy flight games homepage has online(play by email) games hosted by a player from time to time or you can host one yourself if you know what your doing. i suggest this game to anyone who likes empire building and/or war games.

@UrsoDaCortesia Well this game is immense in size, scope and awesomeness... you can pretty much assume this from the six minute video.

Their style is just saying what they feel about the game and how much they enjoy it.

The one thing you need to know about this game is the trouble of getting like-minded players together who want to play this game over a long amount of time, the best part of a day, and to stick it out. Also this game needs six players to bring out the epic nature of the game.

you need to be organized

Game time is typically one hour times the number of players. So six hours for a 6-player game (longer if everyone is playing for the first time). I have a 1-page cheat sheet to help with following the game's rules quicker.

i really liked the panel show review style. bloody entertaining.

i think you should consider doing it with a "brief" overview of game play. phases/action rounds, command counters, fleet sizes, strategy cards and objective cards.
