Hello everybody,

We're adjusting our approach for Starburst R27.  Families are 50% smaller (5 players) but with 4 available draft spots.  That an 80% drafted fam, so get your buddies in!

Also, the galaxy is 50% bigger but with fewer systems overall and also fewer planets per system.  This means more opportunities to spread out but increased competition to do so.

Lastly, "Illegal" Alliances are allowed for this Starburst round, meaning you are free to coordinate with other players and families as much as you'd like.

Registration is open.  Good luck!

Details:

• Size: 120x120 (80x80 last round)

• Systems: 580 (625 last round)

• Families: 16 (8 last round)
