Stellar Leap
Stellar Leap is a light space game with handsome table presence and more to reveal after the first play. Its smooth pace rewards a group that comes back for another orbit.

Stellar Leap feels a little like Rise of the Tribes has put on a space suit and set off into orbit. It is light without being empty, which makes it a fine choice for a Tuesday after work, when you want a game rather than a second shift.
The production is lovely, and the whole thing moves with the kind of ease that keeps your attention on the table instead of on the machinery. With repeat plays, its real point comes into view: players begin to read one another’s hidden scoring and adjust their plans accordingly. That is when this small space trip develops a pulse.

It was an impulse buy, so it could easily have become a handsome box living quietly on the shelf. Instead, Stellar Leap has turned out to be quietly excellent.
