Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy

Take command of a vast interstellar civilisation and compete for galactic supremacy in Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy. This revised and upgraded edition of the acclaimed 2011 strategy classic from Lautapelit.fi offers a premium tabletop experience, blending deep economic management with epic space combat. As the leader of either a human or a unique alien species, you are tasked with navigating the complexities of a galaxy on the brink of change. Over the course of eight intense rounds, you will select strategic actions to achieve your goals, carefully balancing your resources while outmanoeuvring rivals and the mysterious Ancients that lie in wait among the stars.

This "4X" masterpiece—focused on the core pillars of exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination—has been meticulously refined for this new edition. Second Dawn for the Galaxy features a complete graphic redesign and a suite of high-quality components designed to streamline gameplay. The box includes custom plastic inlays for rapid setup, bespoke combat dice, and a full line of Ship Pack 1 miniatures to represent your growing fleet. Furthermore, the game introduces new miniatures for the Ancients, GCDS, orbitals, and more, ensuring that the visual spectacle of your galactic empire matches the depth of its strategic systems. Many elements from previous expansions have been thoughtfully integrated and fine-tuned to create the most balanced and definitive version of the game to date.

Every decision in Eclipse carries weight as you research groundbreaking technologies and customise your spaceships to suit your tactical needs. The modular board ensures that no two galaxies feel the same, with new star systems revealing unique resources and unexpected threats as you push into the unknown. Success requires a delicate harmony between scientific progress, economic stability, and military might. Whether you are forging alliances, engaging in high-stakes dogfights, or quietly building a technological powerhouse, only one civilisation will ultimately guide the galaxy toward the second dawn. Prepare for a journey of discovery and conquest in one of the most celebrated sci-fi strategy games ever created.
