Description

Alliances are shattering, and hasty diplomatic treaties are made in secrecy. A confrontation of the superpowers seems inevitable – only the outcome of the galactic conflict remains to be seen. Which faction will emerge victorious and rule the galaxy?

A game of Eclipse places you in control of a vast interstellar civilization, competing for success with its rivals. You will explore new star systems, research technologies, and build mighty spaceships. There are many potential paths to victory, so you need to plan your strategy considering the strengths and weaknesses of your species, while paying attention to the other civilizations' endeavors.

Eclipse other civilizations and lead your people to victory!

Not a game review

I couldn't play this game because the writing was too small on my iPad. It would surely be totally impossible to play this on an iPad mini or iPhone.

Possibly the best tabletop style 4X on iOS

I think this game is ace, unlike lots of other reviewers I have not played the original tabletop game, but I am aware how well it is regarded (8+/10 on Gameboard Geek). I’m playing on an iPad Mini 4 and don’t have any issues reading the text, so not sure why others are?
Top game, with Online playability. If I could give it 4.5* I would.

Amazing!

Incredible that this game has re-appeared on iOS after 4 years in the wilderness. All appears to be fixed now and seems stable. Thank you so much Brettspielwelt!!!
