Galactic Renaissance Review | Matagot's New Masterpiece?

Watch “Galactic Renaissance Review | Matagot's New Masterpiece?,” a board game review for Galactic Renaissance on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by the creator on YouTube:

Years ago, Matagot released Inis, a fantastic board game with card drafting, area control, and stunning artwork. Inis was designed by Christian Martinez, and now Matagot and Mr. Martinez are BACK with a brand new box—Galactic Renaissance. Galactic Renaissance shares some ideas with Inis, so it feels like one massive question hangs over this game: is there any point to owning both? I've got an answer. Chapters: Intro: 0:00 Premise: 0:19 How to Play: 1:36 Positives: 9:37 Negatives: 13:13 Positives Part 2: 16:42 Final Thoughts: 18:48 Cosmic Rabbit: 19:38 Board and Savior Music by @huspainmusic In case you're wondering, I selected the "this video contains paid promotion" option on YouTube because the game was sent to me free of charge. Matagot did not pay me for this review.

About Galactic Renaissance, from BoardGameGeek:

Following Inis, Galactic Renaissance is the second installment of the "Political Trilogy" by designer Christian Martinez and publisher Matagot. Throughout Galactic Renaissance, you build your team, adding new specialists - each one unique - to the core in your deck of cards. With this team, you discover new planets and systems, reconnect with lost civilizations, expand your influence, build embassies, and sow disorder in opposing factions - all in an effort to score victory points faster than your opponents. Sending emissaries to new planets, for example, allows you to discover new civilizations or cement relationships on known planets. Opponents may try to convince a planet to join them instead with their own emissaries, causing disorder in the process.
