Awesome game for lovers of sci-fi and 4X, turn-based games. Don't be put off by the huge number of expansions, the base game is plenty to get started for maaaany hours and feels like a very complete package on its own. Expansions are more layers on a cake.
Great game, it's very hard to get good at with lots of depth. Played around 150 hours within the first month of purchase. Favorite species is Gestalt with Determined Exterminators or Rogue Servitors.
