EVE Boardgame

EVE is a hard-core sci-fi setting, ruthless, cruel, and cold. Set twenty thousand years in the future, the game world presents a human race straining at the boundaries of its own nature. Massive empires have risen to envelop vast areas of space, each aiming to shape the universe according to its own unique vision.

EVE: Conquests is a strategy board game for 2-4 players set in the EVE Universe. Players assume the roles of the four major empires in EVE and set out to prove their superiority by means of planetary domination. Their conquests require them to play the political landscape in EVE, an effort that often leads them to make war on those who defy them. Garnering the influence necessary requires tact and strategic management of resources in all spheres of operations.
It normally takes about 2 hours to play the game to completion.

The game is based on a highly successful computer MMORPG EVE Online.



Looks pretty cool :)

Doesn't look too complicated so could be a nice boardgame, question is how "easy" they have made it.

Yes hehe
But I have a very old "space" board game which has a similar look but isn't any strategy at all. But if it is similar to lets say the boardgame "excalibur" or "imperium" in complexity it is a nice game to play with my father and brothers from time to time :)

Ah crap, idiocy ate my lengthy response :(

In short, a modern quality boardgame, with classic dice pool (seen in umpteen games (originally AFAIK in a p&p RPG system called Harn) including WoW the boardgame and War of the Ring boardgame) and cards to provide sudden strikes. Has a calendar system that seems quite confusing at first glance.

You have to make your own sound effects also - therefore beer is suggested :)

Does it allow for the possibility of Russian aluminum magnates arranging to cut power to your house so they can defeat you?

from what I can gather the game mostly consists of 3 players sitting outside the kitchen waiting for the fourth to come out to play ....
