My BGG Comment

I have seen 2 of the planets now and they are indeed quite different. Each planet box has several puzzles to solve. Once solved, I am not sure a puzzle is going to be super fun to replay. Maybe once for a better result... because once solved while not exactly trivial, it is vastly different to play. I noticed this after having to try a puzzle a second time after losing a game. The gameplay is fine. What I think makes this interesting is the discovery aspect of each planet. The difficulty so far was okay. And since each game is separate (this is not a campaign game) and lasts maybe an hour or two, retrying a puzzle is not the worst thing in the world. What I don't like is that while the core box is decent sized, every planet box is a single box and they take up a lot of space and well there are a lot of planets. The 2 planets I have seen were interesting but not all that crazy. This is definitely one we're keeping for a good puzzly time every once in a while. Would I buy this again knowing it now: maybe? I admit I wish this was a retail game where the planet boxes were just something I could grab at my FLGS. As it is not really available at retail consistently (some stores have KS stuff irregularly available of course), I felt like I had to get the whole bunch or miss out. I am getting off the crowdfunding train more and more and so this year I probably would not have bought it.
