In the Space Base Board Game, players assume the roles of Commodores of a small fleet of ships. Ships begin docked at their stations and are then deployed to sectors as new ships are commissioned under your command. Use cargo vessels to engage in trade and commerce; mining vessels to build reoccurring base income; and carriers to spread your influence. Establish new colonies for a new Commodore in a sector to gain even more influence. Gain enough influence and you can be promoted to Admiral!
Space Base is a quick-to-learn, quick-to-play dice game using the core ‘I roll, everyone gets stuff’ mechanism seen in other games. It’s also a strategic engine builder using a player board (your space base) and tableaus of ship cards you can buy and add to your board. The cards you buy and the order you buy them in have interesting implications on your engine beyond just the ability on the card you buy, making for a different type of engine construction than seen in similar games. Players can take their engine in a number of directions: long odds and explosive gains, low luck and steady income, big end-game combos to launch from last to first, or a mix-and-match approach. Ultimately, Space Base is a game you can just start playing and teach everyone how to play in the first round or two and has a satisfying blend of dice-chucking luck and challenging strategic choices.

Amazing experience ordering games products from More Than Meeples. The prices are competitive and they were quick with their response to change my shipping option to express and shipping was reasonable. A great game shopping experience.
These guys are fantastic! Top quality products, very decently priced, and such a great range of both new and old, as well as upcoming kickstarters. Customer service is impeccable - they are very quick to respond, and any issue is sorted out in no time. More Than Meeples is our go-to for anything board game related!
My copy of Pax Pamir arrived promptly, and at a better price than I could find elsewhere. More Than Meeples has an excellent range, and I'd happily use them again.
My son was very happy with the cards we purchased for his birthday. Our order was ready for collection the next day and the staff were friendly and helpful.
This is the kinda shop that makes you wish you had a bottomless bank account. Hard to find board games and expansions, incredible prices and a wonderful team that both give you the space to browse their massive collection whilst sharing their deep knowledge from their love of the hobby. Has very rapidly become my friendly local BG store.
Brilliant games shop for anyone with an interest in games. From the serious gamer such as Warhammer/D&D, to the family sitting around a board game at a table, they have what you are looking for. And the staff were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
I bought Sky Team from this shop last week. It's a great board game store (online and in person) with an impressive range and very knowledgeable staff. Will shop here again I'm sure!
I'm kicking myself for ever buying any games from Amazon. MUCH happier to buy from this newly discovered local shop, run by friendly employees. (As well as friendly fellow customers with great advice!) Some of their prices were cheaper than I've seen on Amazon!I could spend ages in this shop. Does the same thing to me that a bookstore does.Would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially those trying to have less screen time and more connecting time. And I will most definitely go there again.... I've already got a list of the next games to buy!
more than needles have become one of my go-to stores for quality stock, amazing customer service, perfect postage and packaging and an easy customer experience :)
Great customer service as always. I have purchased from here numerous times & always received great customer service. If you have questions they are super helpful & very responsive. Highly recommend
Great store with a big selection of boardgames. We were helped by a very friendly and helpful staff member.I would definitely recommend this store if your are looking for any boardgames.
Met these lovely people at the March Board Game BBQ event. They have awesome games in stock at great prices! Will definitely be purchasing again in the future. Thank you so much for my copy of Fit To Print! :-)
Fantastic experience ordering games products from More Than Meeples. I am ordering from New Zealand and will recommend to all my friends. The communication is excellent, the prices competitive and shipping options fast and well priced. A great game shopping experience.
Great selection. I was so pleased to be able to get a couple of games I couldn’t seem to find elsewhere. They arrived well packaged and in good time. Would definitely buy from these guys again. Thanks!
First time shopper and I’m more than pleased with the quality of my items, the packaging it came in was very protected. Will definitely continue shopping for board games with more than meeples! Very satisfied.
As a first time customer, this will definitely not be the last with this wonderful store. More than Meeples stocks games easy and hard to find, and I am stoked they had For Northwood, which I hadn't been able to find anywhere else.
Ordered online and had an excellent experience. Really great range of games, well organised so I could find what I wanted. Great prices, was packed and delivered quite quickly and great communication. Love the name too!
Really great choice. Have ordered from them multiple times. Games arrived in good condition and on time. Good pricing and variety. Good range of kick starters and more variety of great games. Thanks and cheers!
Exceptional service, if there is ever an issue with your order or you just want to learn about a product further the support team will always make it a point to have a clear and concise response to your query.If you haven't made use of this service, you are missing out. They make games so accessible and a really good price.Please support, 10 out 10 recommend.
I've made three or four orders over the past couple of years and they've always been prompt with packing. I appreciate they stock a few niche games like Japanese trick takers and more fresh titles before other stores tend to pick up on them.
Placed an online order as I don’t live in the area. I found the website very easy to navigate, with good pictures and descriptions of the games. I placed my order on a Sunday night, and it was processed and shipped on Monday. Efficient business with good communication 👍
Thank you so much More Than Meeples. They were able to help me with a special request, the transaction was quick and easy and delivery was fast and efficient. Definitely would recommend.
Lovely store and friendly service. So good in fact, that I wrote a poem:In a cozy corner of the town, where joy and laughter blend,Stands a board game store, a treasure trove, where fun knows no end.With shelves of wonders and friendly faces galore,The owner, eccentric and weird, welcomes all through the door.Their passion for games is unmatched, their service always kind,Creating a haven where community and play entwine.In this magical space, where stories and laughter soar,The owner's charm adds to the store's allure.Best board game store in Brisbane!
I had an excellent experience ordering from More Than Meeples online.Being a physical store, rather than a service that replies on multiple suppliers of varying reliability, their ability to accurately report on stock is an increasingly rare delight. It might sound like a strange thing to praise, but having had a few recent experiences ordering online from other stores, and then being told weeks later that the stock had never been there and being issues a refund, this was a very nice change.The staff were also wonderful to deal with. They were helpful, and very fast with getting back to me to resolve any queries I had.I had a very positive experience with this store. They were transparent, and reliable. I'll certainly be looking to deal with them again.
Fantastic business. I was so happy to see the primordial starhost was still available, let alone on sale! Shipped to me so quickly and was well packaged. Definitely would buy from here again.
Great range for all kinds of gamers at good prices. They responded to my questions quickly by mail and even delayed sending my order a few days as I wouldn't be home.I live in China and when I was visiting family in Australia I was able to get everything I wanted shipped to their address cheaper than I could get them in China. Which is pretty amazing!
Great store with a great selection of games and accessories. Really easy to pop in to collect once you know where the little car park is off Martin St.
Great competitive prices and service. They have a comfy chair instore (a wife chair), so you can look around at all their games, while your partner waits/sleeps. :)
