I won our beginner's game of Xia: Legends of a Drift System. It reminded me a lot of Twilight Imperium and Eclipse, but I liked it better because you don't have to take and hold territory.

Since we were playing a short game, mostly with the goal of learning the rules, I took a lot of chances. I blind jumped 4 or 5 times (only once suffering any consequences), turned outlaw, jumped through a defective gate, and shot an undefended opponent out of the sky. Booyah!
