2:30 – dice randomize results HOWEVER you do have choices, even just choosing WHAT dice you are going to roll. You can play safe or play risky – you can tailor the experience to how you want to play. Chance ties in well with the game. And it is NOT all just combat … you are a scientist, there are leads… discoveries… you are exploring.
4:30 – what is so great is the Ship Phase. It is complex but doesn’t feel like it – which speaks to the elegance of the design. It is pretty much unique and special.
6:50 – it is how BOTH parts of the game work together to create an immersive STORY.
