Looks like a well-thought-through light Euro with good potential for player interaction.

Rules 68/80
Structure 9/9
Objective seems a little out of place between Setup and Playing; perhaps could be right after the intro with a brief summary of play.
Requirements 3/3
12+ on the store page; no age recommendation in the rules. Age recommendation is different on video (8+). CPSC rules apply to toys 'intended primarily' for age 12 & under.
Introduction 3/3
Overview 2/3
Component List 5/5
Component Pictures 2/3
Pictures of each card type would be good, with explanation of iconography. No pictures of ships or markers!
Setup 10/10
Minor typo: 'cards there are dealt' should be 'they'
Setup Pictures 5/7
Game Play 10/15
Sample turns would be nice, though not essential. Can you harvest an unclaimed resource from another player's claimed planet? Do the Player Reference cards mentioned have any game purpose?

Doesn't tell anything about the game, really; but I'm always curious about prize-winners.

Could use some of these pictures in the rules.
