Fantasy Flight Gameshas released a new edition of their board game, Nexus Ops. From their website:
“It is the year 2315, and greedy corporations search the stars for any hint of profit. When a wayward crew of space explorers stumble upon an alien moon in a remote system, they find something sure to gain the galaxy’s attention: rubium, a rare and valuable energy source. Seeking to quickly gain what riches they can, the explorers sell the moon’s location to immoral and competitive galactic corporations, telling each one that their firm will have exclusive knowledge of the moon’s location. These massive companies soon dispatch strike forces to seize control of the moon and its resources... only to find that the moon is home to fantastically powerful alien creatures. Now, the competing corporate forces have wasted no time conscripting the indigenous life forms to gather resources and fight for them. But who will claim dominance of the moon and its wealth?
Nexus Ops is a board game of fierce sci-fi battles and fantastic alien creatures in which two to four players control factions of corporate troops and strange life forms on an alien moon. Players deploy troops from their home base to explore the landscape, mine resources, purchase troops, win battles, and fulfill missions, all in an attempt to gather enough power to claim the moon for themselves!”
Nexus Ops is a competitive game wherein players are trying to gather enough resources to oust each other from the moon. It is playable by ages 14 and older, requires 2-4 players, and takes approximately 45-90 minutes to play.
Fantasy Flight is known for their immersive and detailed board games such as Arkham Horror, A Game of Thrones, Descent, Runebound, and Talisman. With the massive success of these lines, you’re almost guaranteed gameplay that is complex but enjoyable. The only downside to any Fantasy Flight board game is the massive set of rules, but these almost never detract from the enjoyment of the game.
Nexus Ops runs at$59.95 on the Fantasy Flight website. You can also check with local game stores – I once again strongly recommend Gamer’s Haven.
