2016 / Deckbuilding card game expansions / 2+ players
****
I still play zap pow spaceships game often, and seeing some classic booster packs inexplicably appearing back on sale for low prices is an infrequent treat (though I still made sure to add another random, resaleable item to the order to excuse the indulgence and cover the cost).
Dual-faction fleets may not make much narrative sense, but they're some of the most distinctive cards in the deck and always a little event when they pop out. They're also grossly overpowered (especially in combination with some of the Missions and Scenarios), which is all the more fun. The main gripe is that they deliberately left out two of the permutations (blue-green and yellow-red) so collectors and those who need balance in their universe have to seek out a rare promo pack, but when you're only playing through a fraction of the mega deck each time, precision balance isn't a big deal.
