Andromeda's Edge is a heavy game (weight 8/10). It offers a substantial decision tree (8/10) — enough to reward repeated study. Decisions come at a steady pace (7/10) — engaged without being exhausting. There's meaningful but indirect interaction (interaction 6/10) — shared resources, catch-up effects, or watch-and-react moments. Direct conflict exists but is contained (6/10).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.

There's meaningful but indirect interaction (interaction 6/10) — shared resources, catch-up effects, or watch-and-react moments. Direct conflict exists but is contained (6/10).
Variance is moderate (input 6, output 5/10). Catch-up is moderate (5/10).
The theme is well-integrated (7/10). The engine-building arc is strong (engine 9/10) — early-game investments pay off in explosive late-game turns.
