Citizens of Space brings quite a bit to the table, offering players an impressive variety of systems with which to engage, and turn-based combat with many unique ideas and a myriad of options.

Mormo’s Curse has descended upon the land of Ditto, and it’s up to the many generations of Swords to right the wrongs done to this land. Is it worth the time to take up the Legendary Toys, put on a cape, and rock this world?
