This is a great game to introduce people to deck building games. Anyone who says this game lacks strategy is obviously not playing with the caliber of players in my group. There are several ways to go about building your hand whether you like building up a Mechana strong construct deck or you prefer to go the Void route of thinning your deck of its starter set. Every time you play the game your choices differ as the center deck changes. This is probably the most played game in our group, and has been for over a year now. Not only can you play in a free for all, but it has a great Team component as well. This game was easy enough to teach my young nephew who instantly fell in love with it.

This game is great for all ages and all experience levels. There is also an expansion available to allow up to 6 players instead of the standard 4.

I picked this game up at Gen Con this year and I have played it several times with different groups and everybody enjoys it. It is an easy game to pick up and play and it gets very competitive when trying to outbid each other for goods in the ports. The Black Market is another pretty cool idea to the game. You can either trade one of our goods for another type available in the Black Market or you can draw a random good from the bag.

This game scales very easily and very well from 2-5 players. I have enjoyed it every time I have played. The components to the game are very good quality, especially the game boards that flip over to accommodate the number of players as well as your cargo ships and especially the coins.

I would highly recommend this game to anyone who wants a fun bidding strategy game that plays well with only 2 players or up to 5.
