The rules, step by step
Setup
Setting up Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy involves preparing the central game board, arranging the outer sector tile stacks based on the player count, handing each player their faction board with starting resources and colony ships, and organizing the technology tiles and resource trackers in their respective trays.
Objective
The main objective is to establish dominance over the galaxy by building an economic empire, researching advanced technologies, upgrading powerful starships, and conquering or colonizing contested planetary sectors.
On your turn
A game round consists of an action phase where players clockwise choose one action (explore, research, upgrade, build, move, influence) or pass. Once everyone passes, players resolve combat in contested sectors, pay upkeep costs, produce new resources, and prepare the board during the cleanup phase.
Scoring
Victory points are scored at the end of the game from three primary sources: reputation tiles gained through combat and achievements, values printed on controlled galaxy sectors, and bonus points earned by completely filling technology research tracks on your player board.
Game end
The game concludes after a predetermined number of rounds defined by the rulebook, at which point players tally all accumulated victory points from reputation tiles, controlled sectors, and technology tracks to declare the ultimate galactic conqueror.
Tips
Money is the lifeblood of your civilization, paying for actions and upkeep. Always plan your technology purchases and ship upgrades carefully, maintaining a balance between economic expansion and military defense to protect your valuable sectors.
