Ressing this old thread because I'm really liking the game.
I've played a few games, but I've yet to be able to see great combo potentials from cards drawn together during a single game. Even with the +5 Explore I have a hard time finding planets and developments that works good together. Now, I only have the base cards, but I plan on getting the expansions.
Also, how should I try to get better at the game? Just play a lot? Try to make combos that doesn't look to good work? Consume 2xVP?
And finally, when playing two players, do you prefer playing with only one action card or the double variant? We've mostly been playing with the doubles, but tried singles too.
