Space Base is a space‑command–themed board game that combines engine‑building, resource management, and dice activation mechanics, all wrapped in a vibrant and dynamic science‑fiction setting.

In the game, you take on the role of a commodore of a space base, managing a fleet of ships. Your goal is to build the strongest base and reach 40 prestige points. Ships start docked in your base, and as you upgrade them and “send them on missions,” they continue to provide benefits even during other players’ turns.

On your turn, you roll two dice. Depending on the result, you activate ships in specific sectors of your base. You can use each die separately or combine them for a total. Even during other players’ turns, you can activate ships you have previously deployed on missions (“deployed ships”), which means you are engaged in the game at all times. With the resources you collect, you buy new ships from the market to replace existing ones. The old ships flip over and become active during opponents’ turns.
The game includes three types of resources — credits, income, and prestige points. Credits reset to the level of your income after purchasing a ship, which requires careful planning. Instead of ships, you can also buy colonies, which immediately award points but block a sector and no longer generate resources.

If you enjoy Valeria: Card Kingdoms or Machi Koro, Space Base will likely hit the spot for you — but with more depth and interaction. 🚀
