All I know is I learned RFTG this year on the app with a friend teaching me via discord and it was a tough ride but worth it!

I've played Roll for the Galaxy and New Frontiers. I much prefer Roll. Turns in Roll are taken simultaneously and cuts down on waiting. It's efficient and easy to learn. New Frontiers is clunky. The military strategy especially seems quite overpowered and gameplay becomes repetitive.
@Finnbarr @squidsarefriends you take your turns simultaneously in both games. Also military tends to be overpowered only when you let it be. If someone is going military then they tend to have predictable needs. Are you feeding them explore and settle actions? Or are you letting them provide you with those while you produce and consume without it helping them?
