Description
A top secret Soviet space mission set out to colonize a planet in a remote galaxy, far away from home. The settlers built there a small communist heaven which exists to this day. As one of the leaders, your goal is to guide the settlers on this new, yet strangely familiar terrain.
In Red Outpost, players get to control all of the settlers, each time a different one. You must expertly manage the resources and choose the jobs carefully so as not to upset the settlers: Keeping up morale is of utmost importance if you want to become the most prolific leader!

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
- Features specialized workers that are better at certain tasks.
- Shared resources create a significant timing and interaction element.
- Area control/influence is based on which worker type is used.
Cons
- Other workers get 'sad' if they go to the coal mine (implying inefficiency).
Thematic elements
- Communal settlement
- Mars or Moon colony
Comparison games
- Jiangnan
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area influence with specialized workers — Players gain influence based on the specific worker they use, rather than just the action space.
- Asymmetric communal worker placement — Six workers, each with specializations, are used for actions. Resources generated are often shared.

Quotes (from this video)
- We are very excited today to share you one of the popular mechanic well-known mechanic worker placement but we are going to show you the top 10 twists that we've played in worker placement.
- The action spaces are there you put it's blocked and uh there's one or two spaces that multiple players can go to so that's kind of the the absolute classic big classic.
- We're going to try to pick games here that uh really do work a placement in a unique way either they're the only one that does it that way or they do something extra special.
- Please do let us know in the comments we would love to see your comments and even every single like like it every single few subscribe to us if you liked it's always optional that would really really helpful to us.
- This becomes so critical to the game you determine what actually will score each round because it will then the first round objective will score the second round and the third one and so on.
- I think it's a little bit of a Targe type of game as well I didn't find the actions I was selecting right as tight or interesting but I really liked the way I was choosing the actions.
- Variable worker value with tug of war and Superior worker bumping and level up with shared worker colors.

Quotes (from this video)
- Looking at some of the weird and wacky stuff that's out there that you might not have seen before

- This is a ludicrous game for ludicrous people
