DESCRIPTION OF BOARD GAME ECLIPSE: SECOND DAWN FOR THE GALAXY

 If you have a friend with whom you have a heated discussion on the topic: Empire or Republic on a space scale, then this game is just right for you. Those who are already familiar with the first edition of the Eclipse will understand what we mean. It's not just a shooter or a star war.

 Here you have to defeat the opponents in the economic battle of the minds, overtake in the arms race, developing their technology, as well as succeed in the intricacies of intergalactic diplomacy. Become at the same time a great commander of Alexander the Great and a genius Ilona Mask of his faction! Or maybe you are assigned the role of a gray cardinal?

OUR GOLDEN

 The composition of this game and the organization of the internal space of the box is what immediately knocks it out of a number of standard space strategy games. There are many components. No, there are a lot of them! There are so many of them that they do not allow the lid of the box to close completely. But the creators of the new Eclipse assure that as soon as you squeeze them out of the dice, unpack and lay out in the recesses, each game element will take a strictly reserved place for him, and everything will be fine.

 Ancient, sentinel, monoliths, battle cubes and damage cubes - not a complete list of game components. Space strategists have two types of personal tablets, one of which will also work in combination as an organizer. There are 6 fractions to choose from, ie 6 possible colors of lids on the boxes.

 We develop our ships with the help of technology tokens, which will have to be taken out of the bag by chance.

NEW AGAINST OLD

 The game was updated not for fun. Some mechanics were optimized, an old friend Eclipse played with new paints and plastic elements in an updated modern redesign. Resource counters are now also plastic and will move cells on the cover of the player's economic tablet. Cardboard tablets-fields have become narrower in shape, and will take up less space on the table, which is definitely a plus in their new versions.

 Of course, we still have a space base and three types of ships, as well as disks to influence the impact in different galactic sectors. In the old version, all spacecraft had the same look, now they are different not only in color but also in style. Just look at the black faction - their school of modern cubism probably contributed to the design of the fleet! And the greens were taken to plant themes - apparently inspired by the likeness of some Venus flytrap from his home planet!

 And finally, the biggest highlight - the local "Death Star" - the System of Protection of the Galaxy Center (SSCG), made in the form of a large spherical space structure. The population of the planets where we have established our control will work honestly and thank taxes, bringing long-awaited resources. Therefore, one of our top interests will be to monitor its prosperity.

ACT WITH MIND

 All the conquest of the galaxy under the victorious star march is still invested in 9 standard rounds. Each round will be divided into phases:

• actions;
• fights;
• maintenance;
• renewal.

 Players will be able to unleash their full tactical potential during an impressive phase of action: we can go on reconnaissance, research, build, improve and move our ships, and earn and spend points of influence.

 And, of course, different factions will inevitably come face to face, ruin / destroy the opponent and carry out well-thought-out combat maneuvers.

FOR WHOM THE GAME

 No matter what anyone says, the gameplay requires attention and considerable effort to immerse themselves in the world. Although the rules set out everything in a structurally accessible and understandable way, board games of this class are considered the satisfaction of the chosen ones, who are well encouraged to study the instructions for such entertainment. But no one will prevent a beginner to join if he is properly explained what is required of him?

 The main difficulty is that the game is competitive, not cooperative, and players will have to think strategically from the beginning to win.
