Top 10 board games number 5: Sidereal confluence in Random top 5 to 10 lists

Number 5 is a very strange and unique game: Sidereal Confluence. 

This game is fun and unique and sadly I dont get to play it often because you need 4-9 players and its best at 5 or 6. Basically you are trading cubes, to make cubes, to get things to make more cubes (They are resources but they have 3 sizes, small, big and cylinder) the core of this game is though EVERYONE has a different asymmetrical power. (For example, the one race needs ships to power their converters and another has wild resources etc) I remember sitting down when this game came out and had no expectations for it, but after 2 rounds (which is what the demo was about) I bought it. I was also a bit  tepid about teaching this game to others but  its not -that- hard to teach but its a unique bit because each round takes about 25 minutes (13 minutes of trading, plus about 12 minutes of getting resources from converters and then auctioning new ways to make resource converters) 

Its great, I really need to play it again. Another problem is.. HOLY CARP TABLE HOG. like it takes a couple tables to get everything on there, but... its so worth it. Great game. I am always down to play it again.
