Fun game

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

This a game that will take a while to play but is so worth it. With each corporation having its play style some are better balanced than others. I would give a recommendation to get this game to anybody who asks me.

Long, complex, and oh so fun

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Number go up make monkey brain happy. Seriously though, I love this game, I have played it so many times. The variety of viable play-styles is wonderful, and the feeling of accomplishment for cool plays is great. The milestone/award system of endgame scoring is genius; forcing players to spend their hard-earned money on points rather than increasing their engine can create some good tough decisions.

Increase your Terraform Rating!

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I love the theme. There are multiple strategies one could use to increase their terraform rating (victory points). Combine that with your unique player corporation, and this game has excellent replay value. I will be investing in double-layer upgrades to track resource production. That’s my only complaint—the slightest bump can throw your count off.

So much from from beginning to end. Good if you don't mind playing a game for an hour and a half or longer! Really like the game pieces and the gameplay

Terrific!

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Fun and not too complex engine builder that plays very well solo. Best part is the little metal cubes, they are so satisfying

TfM deserves its accolades

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I know I'm late to the party, but I've finally played TfM and it's fantastic. And many of my friends like it, so it's easy to get it to the table.

Modern Classic

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Straight forward to learn with a good teacher, clear iconography, incredible replay ability based on 250+ unique cards coupled with very asymmetric corporations. Add to that several expansions to change or expand the game in a variety of ways and you’re left with a must have for anyone with a like for mid+ complexity games.

Great engine game

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

One of my favorite games, so I had to get a copy. Looked over the components and honestly, I don't see what the hate is about except for the player boards.
