molnar710Yes Love the theme, and I think it is integrated well. And it looks great. Drawbacks for kids include the length, and the difficulty (for my kid, anyway) of seeing the value in long-term investment in booster engines and laser cannons. Lately we play San Juan more.
shawndumas713Some May be too dry for some teens. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity.
mentis68Some This is a nice game, but a bit long, which can be barrier to maintaining interest. The repeated search aspect of the game is nicely balanced, since most kids outperform adults at remembering where the needed planets are located, but adults are better at selecting what planets are most needed.
LostDice312Yes This would be a fairly tedious game for kids.
