Stellar Leap
Stellar Leap is a light and very interesting space game, with lovely production and a flow that rewards repeat plays. For an impulse buy, it definitely left me happy.

Stellar Leap reminded me a little of Rise of the Tribes, only moved into space. It is quite light, yet it has real interest and flows pleasantly on the table, while its production is very polished and helps the whole game look the part.
The gameplay is smooth and does not weigh the group down. In the first few games, you are simply trying to understand where you stand and what everyone else is pursuing.
With more plays, though, you start to make better guesses about the other players' hidden scoring. That is where it becomes important to adapt your moves and counter them accordingly, which makes repeat plays more interesting.
Overall, I am very pleased with this impulse buy. It is one of those games that comes easily to the table, looks good, and seems to open up a little more each time you play it.
Then we went hunting in the forest with the trending hotness:
