Pros
- The dice placement and dice manipulation mini-games are really interesting.
- The book walks you through and teaches you how to play as you go.
- Doing something cool with the dice manipulation makes you feel clever.
Cons
- The game is called pocket sci-fi but requires a large book, a printed map, and a character sheet, which makes it hard to store and defeats the 'pocket' aspect.
- The icons and what they mean can be a little complicated to learn initially.
Thematic elements
- Infiltrating and destroying the command planets of oppressors.
- Humanity has left its biological and geographical origins long ago, now cyborgs travel among the stars and encounter the alien synth race.
