This is a large-scale strategic board game, a representative of the European gaming school, the action of which takes place somewhere far away, on the outskirts of a distant galaxy. Here you will find many interesting things, at your disposal will be a station, a handful of spaceships and a fairly limited number of resources at the start. How you manage this economy will depend on how successful your future space empire will be. You will have to withstand fierce competition for resources, make scientific breakthroughs, trade and fight to gain control over the entire galaxy!
CHASE OF SPACE CIVILIZATIONS
The game consists of a series of moves, during which each player will take turns performing actions. Each will receive their own spaceships of four types: transport ships, a fighter, a scientific vessel and a heavy cruiser. You will also take control of the leaders of the chosen faction and receive other game components - dice, track markers, player landmarks and most importantly - your own space station tablet.
The main thing you will need to do each turn - is to launch one of your ships to a certain area on the field - a planet, Alliance bases or nebulae - where you can collect resources, build outposts or participate in battles. Another action that you will perform just as often - is to return all wandering ships to your station. Keep in mind that each type of ship performs specific tasks on the field!
After the ship reaches its goal, you activate the region by receiving resources or performing actions. For example, you can occupy satellites drifting near planets, build outposts, or activate Alliance bases to perform trade actions or gain technological improvements. If there are enemy ships or raiders in one of your territories, you can start a battle with them. During battles, tactics cards and various ship modifications are used to gain an advantage.
When you decide to return ships to the station, you can also use the accumulated resources to activate your station modules and restore all the energy spent on them.
In addition to launching a ship and returning ships to the station, you also have a number of free actions. Some of them you can only perform on your turn, while others - placing a satellite token or playing a tactic card - can be performed on any player`s turn. In this way, you can recruit new leaders, drop a satellite, discovery or domination token, collect bonus resources or take advantage of special advantages of your station.
The game ends when one of the players reaches a certain number of victory points (depending on the selected game duration). After that, we make the last move and determine the final winner.
This game will require you to carefully plan, be flexible in your chosen strategy and be able to make risky decisions. Fans of science fiction and space adventures, those who cannot live without exploring something in outer space, those who dream of joining the development of entire civilizations will find something for themselves on the edge of Andromeda.
