Category: aeg games
Space Base is an intergalactic dice game of fleet management for 2-5 space base Commodores. As the Commodore of a space base, your primary objective is to draft new ships into your fleet to work and patrol the 12 sectors under your watch. Utilize cargo vessels, mining ships, and deploy carriers to earn profits and expand your influence. Only one space base Commodore will be promoted to U.E.S. Admiral of the fleet!
Space Base is a dice game where players build their own chart of rewards. Every turn, regardless of whose turn it is, players harvest rewards from their space base, whether those rewards are an increase in their baseline income, credits for the next turn, influence, or some other powerful effect that will lead them to victory. Players remain engaged and involved on every player turn, from the first roll of the dice to the last.
The fantastic artwork by Chris Walton is set in a hopeful and humorous world, further enhancing the immersive gaming experience. The game is easily taught, yet it offers a rich depth of play, ensuring players remain invested and entertained throughout the entire game.
The core mechanic of Space Base involves drafting ships into one's fleet, which then generate various rewards and effects. As players acquire new ships, they can strategically position them on their individual player boards to maximize their earning potential and gain an edge over their opponents. The dice rolling element adds an element of luck and unpredictability, keeping players on their toes and requiring them to adapt their strategies accordingly.
One of the standout features of Space Base is the constant engagement of all players, even on turns that are not their own. The ability to harvest rewards from one's space base during any player's turn ensures that everyone remains invested and actively participating in the game, rather than feeling like passive bystanders. This promotes a lively and dynamic gameplay experience, as players must constantly be aware of their opponents' actions and plan their next moves accordingly.
Overall, Space Base is an engaging and innovative dice-driven game that offers a unique blend of fleet management, strategic planning, and interactive gameplay. With its captivating artwork, easy-to-learn mechanics, and rich depth of play, Space Base is sure to provide hours of entertainment for both casual and experienced gamers alike.
