But, that excitement and enjoyment was shadowed by my struggling through the actions, and to a finale that I knew would end in a massive loss for me, even on the easiest mode. So each color will have 8 mini plastic mines, 4 trading stations, 3 research labs, 2 academies, 1 planetary institute and 3 gaiaformers. I did enjoy it, and definitely understand the hype it’s received from the solo community. There are 7 different colored factions that can be played which translate to 7 double sided player boards and 7 fat batches of different colored minis and components for each.
