Kickstarter Rewards - Tiny Epic Galaxies; Beyond the Black Expansion

Gamelyn Games comes through again with another well done Kickstarter. Beyond the Black is an expansion for the Tiny Epic Galaxies game that I picked through one of their earlier Kickstarter projects.

Again this is not a stand alone game, it is an expansion but like everything from GG this box comes backed to the gills with components and new stuff to expand the game play. I haven't had a chance to really dig into this expansion yet so I'm not quite sure how the current game play is going to change. It doesn't help that I haven't played Tiny Epic Galaxies in over a year now either (although I do consider it to be a great little game).

Like every GG Kickstarter I have been involved with, it pretty much smashed through every goal that was listed. The box is extra thick cardboard so it should take a real beating if necessary. Extra tokens, custom tokens, extra ships and even more pilots were just some of the goals that are packed into this tiny box. And in order to take advantage of every inch of space the Rogue Pilot solo rules are printed on the inside of the box bottom.

Kickstarter Loot - Tiny Epic Galaxies, a boardgame

I think this is the only boardgame Kickstarter that I have gotten into. It was one of those that had the right price and the company had successfully completed their first Kickstarter. It has a bit of a Cosmic Encounters feel about to me but without the powers that are the core of that game. This one is more about resource management and expansion which definitely appeals to me.

The box is packed full of high quality components too, and its a sturdy box it should hold up well. I'm really impressed. I'm hoping the game play is as good as the components. If its a good game it could quickly become a favorite, especially with the short play time.

A compact 8"x5" box

Nice card deck, wooden tokens, sturdy box. Looking good!

Hopefully I'll get a chance to play this one soon and I'll let you know what I think.
