  1. 7 out of 10

    Just area control, which I don't generally like - beat on the leader. The Twilight Struggle-style events were an interesting twist but didn't really change the character of the game. It did remind me of the books though, which I enjoyed.

  2. 2 out of 10

    A dry and tediously repetitive poor man's version of Twilight Struggle. Unlike that game, there was no thematic ebb and flow of global powers manipulating their positions - this was just arbitrarily adding and removing cubes driven by card actions that had no thematic correlation to anything. Scoring, which happens six times throughout the game and takes longer to perform than the actions between, was unnecessarily fiddly and deprived of us of any motivation beyond finishing the game as soon as possible. A huge disappointment to the group, and the game went straight to the scrap pile.

  3. 8 out of 10

    Fun Twilight Struggle-like / COIN-like 4 player game of influence and combat with card action/event selection. -Fast to setup, tear down and reset.

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.
