We're learning quite quickly that many of the IV Studios titles include an element of negotiation and table talk. This year we were delighted by the expansion for Veiled Fate but now they're back again with another game, this one set in the Moonraker universe. We know nothing about the Moonraker universe (and not that much more about space) but what we did find interesting is the way this fairly simple game uses negotiation and voting for what scores. We hope this video helps you decide if this is a game for you or not!
Note: Prototype game featured, art, components & rules subject to change. This is an unpaid preview and as with all of our content, consists of our honest thoughts and opinions.

Thanks for stopping by! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
