“An excellent expansion to an engaging game of exploration, strategy and resource management. This expansion adds several new elements and more depth to game background, particularly fleshing out the role of the in-game neutrals, known as the Ancients, who now provide a much more potent threat. This expansion also introduces several new factions, including one of a piratical nature, and the first multi-factional alien race. Basic gameplay has been expanded without over complicating the system or overextending playing time but still provides enough options to freshen the experience for veteran players of the basic Eclipse game. Whilst new tiles offer exploration opportunities and rapid cross-galaxy transport. The most intriguing new elements introduced int his expansion come in the form of Alliances and Developments. The former allow factions to form stronger diplomatic bonds with other factions, whilst the latter offers factions a chance to gain much needed resources and technology with having to explore or fight the Ancients. The quality of the game pieces, ships. tiles and tech token easily equal those of the basic game and all the new items introduced in this expansion match the style and feel of the original game, and there is a lot in this boxed set for the money.”
