“The Next Leap Forward!” Stellar Horizons 2: Galactic Frontier traces humanity's journey into the galaxy over the coming centuries (2100-2900) by Andrew Rader. Players will control one of seven factions vying to establish an interstellar empire, each with unique advantages, drawbacks, and special abilities. Through competitive and cooperative scenarios and campaigns, each new star brings the discovery of new planet types, and new opportunities for settlement, trade, or conquest. Along the way, you'll develop technologies and customize your ships, building a faster, stronger, and more capable starfaring fleet. Will you focus on science vessels to probe the secrets of distant systems, mining ships to exploit their riches, or combat ships to claim them as your own? The choice is yours. Meanwhile, you'll deploy genetic manipulations to enhance your species' size, strength, survivability, and intelligence, or even guide its transformation into a different kind of species better suited to subterranean, aquatic, desert, low gravity, or gaseous worlds. Product Information: Complexity: Medium Time Scale: 1 year/turn Map Scale: The Solar System Unit Scale: Manned and Robotic Starships Players: 1 to 7 Solitaire Suitability: MEDIUM Playing Time: 20-90 minutes for Scenarios, 6+ hours for Campaign Campaign & Scenarios can be played competitively and cooperatively -description from the publisher
