“I love the Carcassonne mechanic.  It's a space theme that actually feels like a space theme, always a good thing.  Every game plays out differently, and players have a lot of options per turn…. And that makes it a keeper for me.” -- writes well-known game reviewer Tom Vasel in The Dice Tower.

“Great production value for a self-published game….ASV accomplishes what it promises: German strategy game plus American “take that” game playable in two hours.” – says Ryan “Cerculean” Hackel, Board Game Geek game player.

“Amazing Space Venture is a real fun adventure.  This game is great! (Five out of five stars).”  -- writes Gerald Figurski in FunAgainGames Review.

"LOTS of fun! Thank you for giving us a decent sci-fi game to play!," – says Michael Christopher, satisfied customer in Seattle, WA.

"[Amazing Space Venture] was very fun ….I hope that you send us more of your nice ideas in the future," – writes Dirk Geilenkeuser, of Hans-im-Glueck, producer of Carcassonne, after play testing the game extensively in 2003.

"….a great combination of euro mechanics and mess-with-your-opponent opportunities all presented cleanly by an independent designer with an apparent passion for games…. this game strikes a wonderful balance of a modern spin and presentation of older sci fi pulp. All in all, I'd definitely put this as a solid 9," – says Jon Yonce, game designer and Euroquest 2007 attendee. To read his entire review, click here.
