High Frontier
Players act as national space programs competing to build factories and extract resources across the solar system. They collect and spend water held in low Earth orbit as the primary currency to bid on patents for propulsion, refineries, robotics and other space technologies. Players design spacecraft from component cards, balancing mass, maneuverability and fuel needs; heavier, more capable ships consume more water to move. Missions include launching, rendezvousing, extracting water from moons, asteroids and planets (ISRU), and deploying remote robots to harvest materials. Victory is earned by successful extractions, reaching key technologies and exploration sites, and claiming strategic advantages through patent development.

halbert827.0 Més que un joc, és una simulació de com seria l'exploració, colonització i industrialització espacial. Tots els detalls estan molt ben cuidats, i realment vius el que estas fent. El joc té atzar, tot i que no resulta molest (és un simulació dels riscs i dels imprevists de qualsevol missió espacial). Les regles son molt dures d'entendre al principi, tot i que un cop has assimilat els conceptes, son bastant intuitives.
Floro8.0 eklund. obra de arte de juego que mejora con cada expansión
kesulin5.0 Buen juego de resolución de puzzle, hay que saber encajar las piezas que te dejan comprar para montar el cohete, un ejercicio muy interesante. Problemas: -Puede ser repetitivo -Las patentes están descompensadas -Los asteroides/planetas están descompensados, siendo algunos muy interesantes, accesibles y fáciles de prospectar. -Los equipos están descompensados. -Las reglas (sobretodo que es negociable) no están nada claras.
