@@JohnLaRuffa it's interesting seeing designers comment on your videos. How do they find them? Do you tell them you're doing a review/unboxing of their games, or do they constantly search UA-cam for anything that people are saying about their games?
Looking forward to a how to play/playthrough! I had it ordered )(payed in advance) and Miniature Market Never got it in. Alas, I will have to keep my eyes open for a reasonable sale.
This is one I didn't back but I keep coming back too - I think I might pick it up. I love space and, unfortunately, ISS Vanguard was a complete bust for me. Maybe this can fulfill a more "campaign/legacy" style space game. Thanks John!
This is so much different than ISS Vanguard, but I do like that one as well. The first play through was very basic, but as you add in more unlocked content, it fills out very nicely!
My biggest gripe about legacy games is the extremely high probability that you can't reset it or play it again without having to buy some kind of reset pack. Does Solar 175 fall into this trap?
That is also a concern of mine, but this game does not fall into that trap. Once you complete the campaign and get one of the endings, you can keep playing it and keep unlocking and doing achievements. Even when you unlock it all, you can keep playing it. The designer confirmed that for me. Since you don’t destroy components, you could reset it by just removing things from play. The only thing you cannot do is sell the game later on since it will be heavily marked up. It took me a bit, but after careful consideration, I started marking it up and let go of my fears 😊. I am glad that I did. In a few more games, I will publish a review of my experience.
Great video! Thanks for featuring our game! Please let us know if you have any questions.
You bet! I hope to enjoy many plays of it!

@@realdealastrology9 I think they must see the post on BGG. That’s all I can guess because I don’t ever contact them about what I am posting.
I know nothing about this one but it looks excellent

I am very sorry to hear that you didn’t get your copy as expected…
@@JohnLaRuffa Not a problem, lots of games around here. It looks fun though. Does it give expected hours of gameplay?
