I was unfortunately always been fascinated by Twilight Empire did not have three people, or even as recommended 5 - 6, a) interest within the in the subject and b) also wanted to invest the time that is needed to play TE. Alsmich am then encountered by chance on Eclipse I have made clever. Since the first edition was sold out well in German immediately remained only the English recessions the game are also quite rare sown as well as heat goes rolls away. But the possibility of a 4x game with attractive game material and even to play for two and a brief study of the available online German rules gave then the rash. However, one must say that I got it a little cheaper than it is offered at the moment.
2. Unpacked
As soon I get the box open and was first positively impressed as various bags and bags are already included for the order. The material make an overall impression of high quality and fässt good. Although Marvin was slain the wealth once so there are still fast ways the material clean accommodate and to save later build time.
3. First game
My wife and I have had frühers often liked to play Warcraft (board game) can then fall asleep because d board for two has always been the same and the whole so soon got bored. ECLIPSE was here really pleasant, it can be really useful to play Second, the rules are logical and therefore easy to learn and in that the pitch is always interpreted differently you always have another game. We loved it and my wife has even voluntarily read the manual, what they never does and always everything can be explained.
4. Time and space
So with the specified 30 min. per player to get definitely not go. With explanation we played for two 3h and 4h threes. I'm going now the times of which you well 45 - 60 (probably 60) be reckoned minutes per player if the people know and know how it goes. Well, but still faster than 10 hours at TE and can thus spend a truly ephemeral evening.
Place .... Well, the only real drawback of the game the space requirement. We must take off our round dining table and this is for two to three Ok, is at four's probably closely and any more players is impossible on the table. Without off is a two player game extremely tight. I should probably mention that we at our table always four dinner and everyone has enough space and the salad bowl and so also, so no mini table.
5. Conclusion
I can only recommend the game highly. It can be that one entire evening, it offers the best atmosphere and 4x just the latest round offers pure excitement since everything on the big showdown working towards. A great epic SciFi game.
