Check out K. David's review of Alderac Entertainment Group's Space Base, the dice-driven engine-building game of space exploration.
Engine Building Games
An engine building game is one in which players build up an economy of resources turn by turn. The resources might be money, workers, gems (like in Splendor), wood, victory points, or any other useful in game “currency”. Generally players can improve their engine over time which can lead to a great sense of satisfaction when the engine runs at peak performance.
