Eclipse: Second Dawn For The Galaxy

Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy is a 4X sci-fi strategy board game that pits rival spacefaring civilizations against each other in an eight-round race for galactic dominance.

You’ll explore sector hexes to reveal new systems, expand your influence with colonies and structures, and research technologies that reshape what your empire can do. Each round is an efficiency puzzle—choose actions carefully, manage your economy, and time your shipbuilding so you’re ready when borders collide. Combat is decisive and fast, with customizable ship parts letting you tune fleets to your plan instead of relying on a single scripted path. This updated edition refreshes and revises the classic game with upgraded components and refined content, built for deep strategy across a wide range of player counts.
