Clearly I am light-years (6 actually) behind everyone else in Xia-dom, but it is one hell of a good game. I am playing most games (not just Xia!) solo these days (aww!) and Xia, with the "Embers" expansion works so well. Only complaint is that I have restless hands and there's so much to knock over or off the mat in the game.
Great game. "Grab yourself a spaceship and go do your thing!" Why thank you, I will!
