Description
DESCRIPTION OF BOARD GAME ECLIPSE: NEW DAWN FOR THE GALAXY
The intergalactic world is hanging by a thread again! The Council for the Peaceful Settlement of Issues has ceased to cope with the growing tensions of hostile civilizations. Some galaxies form secret alliances and provoke destabilizing the world. War is inevitable! Equip spaceships, mobilize people, engineers, scientists and the military, and lead your civilization to victory in the war for supremacy over the galaxy.
Here is probably the best strategy space board game Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy (Eclipse: Rebirth of the Galaxy), in which players lead intergalactic civilizations to prove their superiority on the battlefield.
BEFORE THE GAME
Each participant receives a game tablet, which reflects the state of civilization: the level of influence, reputation, composition and technology. It also features population markers, tiles of modules and technologies for spacecraft under development, and tiles of intergalactic ambassadors.
But what a war without ships, so each player gets a whole space flotilla of interceptors, cruisers, dreadnoughts and space bases that will be installed in galactic space.
Also on the table is a common field of supply, which houses all sorts of tiles: discoveries, research, ancient ships, orbital stations, ship modernization tiles, round counter, damage cubes, traitor cards and more.
Before the game, we place the starting hex of the galactic center and the hexes of the first sectors on the table. This part of the galaxy is considered explored at the start of the game, and the rest of space, players have yet to open, placing and attaching tiles to each other.
GAME STRUCTURE
The intergalactic war will last 9 rounds, each of which consists of 4 phases: Action, Battle, Equipment and Purge. Players take turns losing the first phase, then the next. At the end of the ninth round, the winner is the player who scored the most winning points.
GAME PROCEDURE
Actions . In this phase, players take turns performing or passing. The action phase takes place in a circle until all players save. In other words, a player can take as many actions as he wants before passing. The following options are available to players:
- Intelligence . With the help of reconnaissance, players will discover the dark places of the galaxy, placing new hexes on the playing field.
- Impact . To gain influence in one place or another in the galaxy, players occupy or release free hexes. They expose disks of influence, and even colonize the galaxy, sending their population there.
- Research . This action is aimed at discovering and developing new technologies used in the military space industry.
- Modernization . It will allow you to put into practice and install on your ships the same technologies that players have explored in the previous action.
- Construction . This action will allow the player to build new ships and orbital stations, increasing his space fleet.
- Moving allows you to move ships around the galaxy. The starting speed of the ship is 1, but upgraded ships are able to move faster.
- Reaction . This is a special action that can be performed after you have saved. In other words, if you save, and the game phase unfolds in such a way that you need to react, then you perform an action Reaction, which involves performing one of the above actions, but with minimal effect.
After all participants have passed, the round goes to the next phase:
Battles . Ships of rivals, who were on the same tile with each other or with the ships of the Ancients, enter the battle. Fighting takes place according to the standard mechanics for similar games: we throw attack cubes, add the value of bonuses, and subtract the value of spaceship shields from the result.
Ships that failed to defend themselves are damaged, and the winners of the battle - the winning points.
In the next phase of the game - Content, participants pay for the content of civilization, and it's not cheap fun, by the way. Moreover, the cost of content is directly proportional to the number of actions performed in the first phase of the round. Therefore, when doing another action, think carefully about its feasibility.
The Cleanup phase is essentially the preparation of game components for the new round. Players put all variable markers back in place, add new technology tiles to the supply field, and more.
FOR WHOM THE GAME
We recommend experienced players to take part in the great intergalactic war for peace. I must say that the game is not difficult, but to understand it must be serious. Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy is a large-scale and highly variable strategy that will take several game hours. You will also need a fairly large game table. When unfolded, the galaxy is very small. Eclipse is a very popular board game with the highest world ratings.
