Description
A new Galaxy has just been discovered on the borders of the Empire! Commanding your Spaceship, you go explore this new Eldorado, full of treasures and mysteries. Planet after Planet, your discoveries allow you to build up your Crew. Hire Specialists and Robots to benefit from their abilities. Attract Empire Emissaries on board, which will entrust you with new missions, worth Credits. Grab your part of the wonders that this new Galaxy is full of, to become the wealthiest explorer !
Wild Space is a tactical card game in which you aim at combining your cards efficiently. Each time that you add new cards to your collection, you reinforce your Crew, earning Credits and preparing your next combos. Wild Space carries all the excitement of the best combo card games, within short plays and with accessible rules.
How to play ?
Wild Space carries all the excitement of combo card games, with accessible rules. On each turn, a fresh action selection system offers you two simple types of options : add a new card to your Crew or draw new cards. When you play a card, you trigger its ability if the cards in your Crew fulfill its condition. Putting new cards into play is therefore useful for getting powerful abilities right now, but also for gathering the conditions for triggering future abilities. Learning how to plan your actions is key for triggering efficient combos and being able to put several cards into play at once. And knowing that the Credits that you need to get at the end of the game in order to win are based on how your Crew is composed only emphasizes that.

- It's great. It's my game of the year.
- Hero Forge, if you're watching, I'd love to make another video for you. Send me some more credits.
- That [__] is addictive. Oh my god.
- Gnome Hollow is a delightful game. Whether you're an avid board game player or new to board games, this game is very suitable for both. The gameplay is smooth. You have many action to choose from, but but it still remains clear. We really like the theme. Gnomes always do well. The ring markers are magnetic, which is super handy. That makes them easy to keep on your player board.
- Hughes and Q's is quite good.
- I felt like it's one of those games unfortunately after I play it once I was just like well and I never need to play this again.
- A+ for style points. Super cute theme and artwork. I give this a low rating based on the fact that I myself just can't really play it. The spatial aspect of the rings with all their twists makes it hard for me to plan my turns and you can't get around the spatial aspect and to aim for a win through other methods.
- People love to be harsh.
- Tile laying that's been done before. The tile laying is really dull. Even though there are seven tiles to choose from, there are ever only one or two viable choices because you want to close the path as soon as possible. There is nothing new to see here. Move along.
- I love people and I hate them at the same time.
- Well, that's harsh.
- We're in the happiest timeline right now.
- There's no like RPG stuff there really.
- I think that Morborg is just a garbage thing. It's just like it's it's it is it is it was a flash in the pan.
- Yeah. And it's just like we got we're going to just have all these Borg things and I just like what are we doing?
- I just need this remote control and this chair and that's all I need.
- The Color from Outer Space. It showed up.
- Well, what you need to go see or stream is um Renfield with Nick Cage.
- That's just over the top ridiculous. It's It's amazing.
