Players begin with their Emergency Stop card ready to use. The next major change is that each player gets 4 special power cards tied to the color of ship they’ve chosen. Ships can now start at the Outer Ward Gate and head towards the center. However, no more than 3 ships can begin at the same location. When playing with 5 or 6 players, the players choose whether they want to begin at the Outer Warp Gate and race towards the center or start at the Inner Warp Gate and race toward the outer. The first major change in Gravwell 2nd Edition is that the game now allows up to 6 players rather than being limited to 4 players! Using gravity to get our ships moving the way we want. While the main gameplay is like the original, Renegade Game Studios has made a number of adjustments to the game that streamline it bit and add in more choices for the players. Since this is a 2nd edition of a game we reviewed over 7 years ago, if you’d like to get a rundown on the original game, jump on over to our original video review of Gravwell. The big catch is that you may not know whether you’ll be shooting forward or backwards until your turn! Players do this by playing numbered cards that propel them or their opponents that many spaces forward or backwards. The main objective in Gravwell 2nd Edition is the same as in the original game - to be the first player to get their spaceship to the distant Warp Gate. It’s a fun game with a bit of chaos and this year there’s a new edition to love! Same fun game play but with some cool additions. In Gravwell, you’ll rely heavily on gravitational pulls to get you to your goal first. Even though this force keeps us all well-planted on Earth, we just take it for granted and don’t give it a second thought.īut if you’re floating around in space without much fuel, you may start thinking more seriously about gravitational pulls.Īnd that’s exactly how it is in the fun board game we’re reviewing today - Gravwell 2nd Edition.

I’m sure most of us don’t think about gravity very often.

Gravity is still our friend in Gravwell 2nd Edition!
