Learning the game is super easy. Place a tile, move 2 resource tracks.
Each player can choose the default planet or corporation board or flip them to the more complex asymmetric sides. Due to this, you can have 2 people playing a more casual simple game, 2 players playing a medium game and 2 players playing full asymmetric board/planet combos at the same time. I chose this due to wide appeal, great production value and functional gimmick of the lazy suzan.
Playing the game can be really wacky almost like a party game if you play with the optional Event cards but, this is to your own tastes whether you include them or not.
Just note the game doesnt store well when shelved vertically since there is no "cover" for the lazy susan so pieces fall out everywhere in the box. I made my own cover and even though its not perfect, its much better than pieces falling everywhere. (Just note this isnt really a major problem, just a little annoyance that I think is worth it - or you just store the box flat lol)
