The Verdict
based on 19 reviews
“Overall, uh, it's a winner. I, I think it's a, a family weight game, but with the advanced variants, uh, veteran gamers will appreciate it as well. If you like push your luck, definitely give this one a shot.”(6:37)
“When I'm talking about fun malm is just fun to me it is a silly good time every time I play it you are pushing your luck rolling Dice and moving up this sort of galaxy playm mat”
“This is just such a beautiful game, a light game. I love it more than anything in this world. I think this is just outstanding.”(16:28)
“Mm's a delightful time for all player counts that keeps all constantly involved in a game filled with chancy dice chucking and tense decisions”(3:55)
“Overall, this is a fantastic package at a reasonable price point, and I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys press-your-luck-style games.”
“But MLEM is a very basic, but VERY good experience that is easy to teach and easy to play.”
“This is a lot of fun, albeit 8+ seems a little off – there's quite a lot to process, especially in the rulebook, and 9/10+ seems a bit more accurate.”
“While it isn't my favorite of Knizia's designs by a long shot, it produces such a lovely time, with such gleeful highs and sputtering, easily forgotten lows, that I can't help but enjoy myself.”
“MLEM probably isn't going to be invested into the modern board game hall of fame, but it is a fantastic family weight game that evokes a reaction with every single round of play.”
“So overall I've rather enjoyed [MLEM] Space Agency. It's a push your luck game with some very nice production. I don't necessarily think that the cat theming was necessary, but it's at least been done well.”(14:13)
“I liked the game a lot. I thought the design was well done and it was a lot of fun – most of the fun comes from the ribbing and cajoling that goes along with push-your-luck type games.”
“It really simple to introduce to new people, and it's so fast to play, fast to teach. Everybody has fun. It's fun when the ship crashes and burns. It's also fun when you get to that planet that you really want to get to, and it's overall just, yeah, a good time.”(18:15)
