How to play: First, set up the game using the Eclipse core game components, along with the 'Worlds Afar' Expansion. Each player controls an interstellar civilization. You can start exploring new star systems, researching technologies, and building spaceships right away. Try different strategies based on your species' strengths and weaknesses and keep an eye on what other players are doing. Notice that unless stated, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included in this pledge. When handling the miniatures, be careful as they're delicate. Store the game in a dry and cool place to prevent damage to the components like the custom plastic inlays and combat dice. The art in the game isn't final, so it might change. If you have any problems during gameplay or need advice, don't hesitate to contact The Game Steward.
