I would say that it is def a "filler" game, but it really is a blast. My gaming group (2 guys, 2 girls) love to throw it inbetween games of BSG, Cosmic Encounter, Spartacus, Seasons, etc. It breaks up the flow of heavier games really well. I would recommend picking up the Power Up expansion right away and use it from the first game forward. The evolution cards add SO much to the game. Also, we use the house rule that rolling the energy face gets you 2 energy cubes. This allows players to buy more cards and keep the game fast and crazy. I found this "rule" somewhere in these forums.
