Staff Pick of the Week
This week the pick is from me! I would love to talk to you about Space Base! I’ve been really enjoying playing this smaller game lately. I’m grooving on the engine building in this game, and the fact that you get to do stuff on everyone else’s turn as well as your own. Turns go quick but it’s got some nice crunch. If you like Machi Koro, definitely give this one a try!
