About the game

What you do in a play session

If you felt the Among the Stars galaxy was getting a bit too predictable, get ready to engage your warp drive! Expanding the Alliance is much more than a simple add-on; it's a massive-scale upgrade that breathes fresh life into your-galactic-exploration-themed sessions. This second expansion is packed with enough content to keep your tabletop-sized universe feeling vast and unpredictable for a long time.

We're talking about 46 new locations that will reshape your exploration-driven-map, 2 conflict sets to spice up-the-interstellar-tension, and 6 new objectives to keep everyone on their toes. Want more-asymmetric-fun? You've got 3 new alien races and 8 new Ambassadors waiting to change the-game-flow. It's all about adding layers of strategy and variety to the core mechanics you already love.

One of the biggest game-changers here is the-player-count-boost. If your gaming group is larger than the base game allows, this expansion is your ticket to-playing with up to 6 players, complete with all the-necessary-components like extra reactors and energy cubes. Whether you are looking for more-strategic-depth or just more-ways-to-play, this expansion delivers a massive-amount-of-content that makes the-universe feel truly infinite.
