Soldiers fight together against waves of terrifying aliens in real time.

“A great game, really fun because of the fast, real-time action of the game. Production is lovely with lots of miniatures. 

Refreshing gameplay after playing some strategy games as there's no real deep thinking needed. ”

“I really enjoyed this game. It’s a crunchy, tight euro with a surprisingly engaging theme... brine mining. 

One of my favourite parts is the card play. Cards can be used either as powerful actions or exchanged as money, which creates a constant tension between short-term gain and long-term planning. Every decision feels deliberate as you build out your mining empire.

Definitely worth playing if you enjoy heavier euro games, or if you’re like me, a huge fan of Devir.”

Plant tulips, build windmills, and offer the most valuable selection of bouquets.

“Really nice cosy game. Not normally my type of game, but this one has a little bit more crunch to it. I love the double-action selection part of it and being able to upgrade your actions. On top of that, the selections change each turn, making it a little bit different each time.

Really worth playing.

Dani Garcia is a fantastic designer. ”
