Some friends of mine launched a kickstarter for an awesome strategy game called Tales From The Strange Universe.
It's a liiitle like playing a space empire game in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy universe.
It's an enjoyable game, relatively easy to learn and you play against human players who are rather witty and fun.
