Reading the manual is a bit of a chore, watch the youtube instructions. The instructions are very messy, but we watched a video and it made everything clearer.
The good parts is all the realism, yet simplicity of the cards. The deck is huge, so there's plenty of replayability. I am about to buy a 3rd copy of the base games as my cards are starting to fray and look ragged.
Play is probably around 2-4 hours maybe, faster if you are veteran players. However, if one or both players focus on the terraforming then the game gets quite quick and there is usually a race to the finish.

You buy the cards that you want to keep and discard the rest
The game arrived with a bump that seems to have been before the packaging since the outer box arrived well a little sad about that
Competitiveness
As turns go by and strategies suggest themselves both from the cards you draw and the actions of your competitors the game shif... Read More

Ive only played this game solo and 2 player so i dont know how it works with more players than that

I would guess that if you played with three or four players then the probability of one player deciding to focus on the terraforming and so accelerate the game would be higher

I would have appreciated a doublesided map to change things up a bit
