Watch “Drop Drive Second Sun Preview,” a board game review for Drop Drive: Second Sun from How Lou Sees It on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by How Lou Sees It on YouTube:
There is so much content in this upcoming expansion for Drop Drive Second Sun. New two-system area setup, co-op play with different invasion scenarios, planetary projects, specimen research, crew tiles, nexus tiles, and more.
Everything added makes the game more interesting and/or provides more variety. Being able to play interesting solo and co-op games is a huge plus here.
Preview Highlights:
+ Second Sun layout provides more interesting interactions and movements
+ Introduces cooperative play vs many different invasion scenarios
+ Will introduce solo-play
+ Specimen Research module makes specimens more interesting throughout the game and not just end game points
+ Contract Crew provides really cool and helpful abilities
+ Modular elements allowing you to choose what elements you want to play with - some or all
- Added elements can slow down gameplay
- Specimen Research while lots of fun, does definitely add some more randomness; which may be frustrating for some
Overall, I really enjoyed all of the elements of this expansion. I think they all provide some really interesting game experiences and I really enjoyed the cooperative game modes. The crew powers are really cool, and the specimen research while frustrating at times - is a very nice thematic engaging element.
I highly recommend Drop Drive and the upcoming Second Sun expansion and that is How Lou Sees It!
