LD. Simple and almost generic area control game. Poor design using stills from TV series. Seems like will get repetitive quite fast. Not my cup of tea.

Like Twilight Struggle? Have more than 2 players who want to play it? Like "The Expanse" books/TV show? If the answer to any of these is "yes", why don't you own this already?

Oy. Closest analog would be a 4P Twilight Struggle. Area control, cards with ops + events. Seemingly-neat way to determine who fires the event if ops are chosen: first person on a track gets a choice, and if chosen, they move to the bottom of the track. Seemed far too random in practice, though. Placement constraints were un-fun for me, unlike El Grande. Maybe if I loved the books/show?

The Expanse, a board game based on the Syfy television series of the same name, focuses on politics, conquest and intrigue similar to the board game Twilight Struggle, although with a shorter playing time. The card-driven game uses key images from the show, along with action points and events that allow players to move and place "Fleets" and "Influence".

In more detail, players represent Earth’s UN forces, the military of Mars, the rebels of the O.P.A., and the mysterious corporation Protogen Inc. Each player has special abilities that must be maneuvered to gain advantage. Players increase their control over the solar system using characters and events from the universe of The Expanse.
