My buddies and I just had our first game last night.
I have to say I love this game.
I was wondering what tips you can offer a new player.
Also how long does it take on average for experience players to finish a game?
We had 5 and after 5-6 hours we really weren't all that far into the game.
Myself and anther had 3 victory points by the time we had to call quits
I've read some take out the 8th strategy because well that's what everyone picks.
We don't have any expansions yet. Just the core game.
I haven't read the rules myself yet (just downloaded them on my phone) but does everyone just pick their starting race at random?
Thats how we usually do things when we play these types of games (civilization, star craft to name a couple)
Other than strategy 1,and 8 which other is a really good one to help give a boost?
Especially if your a race that doesn't start off with a massive fleet?
I liked taking the trade so I could get some extra trade coming in, but I really didn't see at what point would I want to end all trade deals. I never felt like this would help or hurt anyone.
I also found that the second time someone took the trade strategy, everyone already had their trade agreements, so I couldn't approve or disapprove because no one made new ones.
Can I cancel my agreement with another player so I can do a trade with another?
