The production values are just oozing through every inch of this box, and those who spring for this behemoth will not be disappointed in the way these components pop and shine on the table.

Dedicated pages for each action, sections that explain what each tech, discovery and ship part tiles do WITH PICTURES. By putting all the maths in the upkeep phase and using sliding markers on a track rather than discrete components to show how many resources you have, Eclipse takes away so much faff. But for a game generally considered to be a wargame, Eclipse does a fantastic impression of a low-interaction eurogame at two players. Different civilizations gain bonuses for specific actions, and that is where the asymmetrical faction design really shows.

Once you understand what each action does, the game flows fairly smoothly, with only the most extreme sufferers of analysis paralysis prolonging the game’s three-to-four-hour playtime.

I love complex games, but I know not everyone can get into them, however once you explain a few of the game concepts Eclipse Second Dawn is actually shocking easy to learn and play!Overall I am really impressed and it would be a perfect rulebook if not for the subpar setup section.
