What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready to supercharge your "Exile Sun" experience? This expansion, "Race for the Gate," is here to crank up your games. If you're into exploring the unknown and unraveling cosmic mysteries, this one's for you! We're getting new map tiles that will make the board even more dynamic and agenda cards that focus on the crazy race to find ancient relics of the "Outbound Gateway." The idea is that by piecing together some of these original components, we can reestablish the connection to Earth. Get it? And for those in the game, this means a new way to gain leverage and power! This expansion adds more strategic depth, with new unit options and maybe even some rule surprises. It's the perfect chance for those who already master the base game and want more challenges, more twists, and more conflict on their table. Prepare your fleets, sharpen your strategies, and may the best space explorer win!
