Review: Solid game - two thumbs up! - *Stars of Akarios* is a solid pick for anyone into story-driven, co-op board games with a sci-fi edge. The game blends elements from *Gloomhaven* and *X-Wing*, offering quick and strategic space combat that’s fun without being too complex. You’ll spend a lot of time positioning your ship just right for the best advantage, and the planet exploration adds a nice change of pace, letting you dive into the story a bit more. The components are top-notch—detailed miniatures, vibrant artwork, and some really handy game trays for organizing all the pieces (though they don't quite fit sleeved cards). Each scenario runs about 30-40 minutes, which keeps things moving along nicely. Sure, there are a few minor hiccups, like some typos in the rulebook, but nothing that an online FAQ can’t fix. Overall, if you love co-op games, sci-fi themes, and a mix of action and exploration, *Stars of Akarios* is definitely worth checking out.
Review: Not for me - I tried twice to purchase this through desertcart and both times it was packed in a box too big for it with little to no packing material and both times it arrived with the game box seams split all the way up to the corners and the corners smashed from transport. I feel bad for the seller, cause it was a shipping problem. So super bad experience there. Ended up getting a used copy through a buy/sell group, and was pretty disappointed. It is ambitious, and takes big swings, and is nipping at the heels of great. A lot of the framework is copied from Gloomhaven, but only the superficial stuff, like character sheets and conditions and items, not the fun combat or varied character builds. The space combat (most of the game) is straightforward-cosplaying-as-nuanced and insufferably dull. The crux of it is positioning and dice rolls, but your movements are of limited variety and the enemies move on randomized AI decks so you never really feel too much control over what’s happening. Items and skills do little to genuinely affect the flow of battle. Planet exploration (much less of the game) I found quite a bit stronger, and was what I’d hoped 7th Continent was going to be. Exploration is interesting, skill checks are meaningful, dice rolls are tense and require push your luck consideration. If that was the whole game I would’ve been way more into it. Story I thought was pretty compelling and well executed. I was hooked there, but after the first act I just couldn’t bring myself to set up another space map and slog through it to find out what happens. Worth trying and appreciating the things it does well (most things actually), but when the core of the game is the worst part it’s hard to fully recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome game!
*by M***T on March 9, 2024*

Overall, It's fun and has many different play styles. There are some minor issues, like some typos in the rules. Luckily I went online and found an FAQ. The space combat reminded me of X-Wing, but less complex. The space battles are simple, focusing on dice rolls and position, and the planet exploration is exciting. The story is interesting, and the combat is fun. Overall, it's still a good game for those who like space themes. I really liked that this game is cooperative, because then I was able to work together with my family.
