(grey box edition) and the Carpe Astra box suffered from having predominantly grey boxes and a texture than wasn't great. I still really like detail (bolts, panels, circuitry, etc., but the grey stone texture doesn't scream sci-fi to me. The picture has a nice comic art feel to it and evokes the theme (fighting for a throne in space) well, but the characters look pretty 'ugly' (that's quoting a lot of people of BGG). The high priest (on the left) was my favourite character design, but he's definitely not a looker!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JackJackson Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685562784078130612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988030.post-11447121427893755182017-10-06T18:45:05.913+01:002017-10-06T18:45:05.913+01:00I always liked the box of Carpe Astra.
