Nexus Ops is a great game – it’s a fast, very enjoyable game of galactic conquest on a small scale – a typical game lasts around an hour to 90 minutes. It plays much like a turn-based, board game translation of a computer RTS (real time strategy) game - which is high praise indeed, given how much trouble board game companies have seemed to have when trying to translate the RTS experience into a more tangible, non-real time form. In short, Nexus Ops has all of the galactic conquest with none of the issues with game length, complexity or huge amount of components (and therefore lack of space to play the game!) that usually plague games of this ilk - simple enough for inexperienced players yet strategically interesting enough for those well versed in using military might to conquer alien moons.
