After spending $200 on this game and some of its expansions, I'm trying my best to wrap my head around it. But so far all I've done is gotten frustrated trying to figure out what all of the hundreds of tokens represent and how they're used. Some have what they are written on the back, others do not, while others have yet to be identified. Then there's the spells, not that you have to memorize them but you do have to know where to go to look them up and understand how they work and when to use them.
I have watched just about every Youtube video out there and have come to the conclusion nobody else knows either, so I'm not alone. There's very little explanation given in most of the videos, they assume you know all about this (I hate this word) game genre or they keep refering to the original works, Core Space.
I've worked at it every day to an extent since the first of the month, while I have made some progress I'm nowhere near completing a quest. I spend more time searching online for an answer than playing the game.
It does take time to set things up and put things back in their proper places, but I don't mind that so much. I actually wish someone would come out with this type of terrain (buildings) for WW2 settings as it's easier to store, more compact.
Good thing is it's only 2'x2' so I can find a spot to leave it set up to continue trying to understand what I'm doing.
At my age I may be pushing things a bit, my brain is already overloaded with useless things that I can't seem to flush out to free up space.
