Eclipse

Description

Designed by Touko Tahkokallio

The galaxy has been a peaceful place for many years. After the ruthless Terran-Hegemony War, much effort has been employed by all major spacefaring species to prevent the terrifying events from repeating themselves. The Galactic Council was formed to enforce previous peace and it has taken more courageous efforts to prevent the escalation of malicious acts. Nevertheless, tension and discord are growing among the seven major species and in the Council itself. Old alliances are shattering and hasty diplomatic treaties are made in secrecy. A confrontation of the superpowers seems inevitable – only the outcome of the galactic conflict remains to be seen. Which faction will emerge victorious and lead the galaxy under its rule? The shadows of the great civilizations are about to eclipse the galaxy.

2-6 players compete to control an interstellar civilization, choosing their “people” from seven races – one human race and six alien races. Players colonize and explore, discovering technologies, developing businesses, and purchasing ships and outposts to defend their civilization. Will you succeed in leading your “people” to victory? Or will another race rise above you, taking control of the galaxy?
