> 3 dayThis expansion is great! You dont have to play with the orb if you dont want to. Why is everyone bashing this so much just because it comes with a game play mode you DONT HAVE TO PLAY? The cards that come with Alien Artifacts are great! The expansion is a good buy just to get the new cards and have them to play with. I honestly cant understand how anyone give this one star if they new anything about the game because the cards are good enough by themselves... In fact I think three star reviews are already showing a jaded bias. The expansion deserves at least four stars. I am giving it five to offset the ninny who rated it one star and because I LOVE the cards included. Sure I am not going to use the orb, but hell I dont use half the stuff in the other expansions either.

> 3 dayThe orb expansion can be amusing, but it makes it feel like youre playing two different games at the same time. There can be a lot of possibilities to consider in the placement of the orb cards, and this really slows the pace of the game. The orb does add another significant dimension of strategy (and luck, for that matter) to the game. The extra start worlds and other new cards are a nice addition to the standard game, even without using the orb.
