I’ve been playing Andromeda’s Edge this weekend, for the third time. It was the first time we had a flow of cascading actions, you could feel the engines going - and how the different starting races influenced the gameplay decisions. Felt good, and the score balance was pretty good, too. My fungal empire won by scoring over 100 points in the final counting, but the other players weren’t far behind. It’s not a casual family game that you can play with everyone but is not too crunchy either (for my taste). Will play again and consider to get a physical copy.
AE is a pretty fun point salad game, I find. The asymmetric faction balance doesn’t seem great, but it’s ameritrash enough that I generally don’t care.
