About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, gamers! Ready to expand the Impulse universe? With 'All Your Base', we dive headfirst into new space control strategies. This expansion, which can be played on its own or with 'Brake for Launch', introduces bases you build directly onto the game board. Each base not only gives you a little corner to call your own but also grants special powers that can shift the game's dynamics. Think of it as a way to customize your approach, focusing on dominating that specific sector of space you've claimed. To score points, building at least one base is crucial, and the more you have, the greater your chances of victory – but watch out! These structures are easy targets for enemy cruisers if they get too close. And the worst part? If a base is left undefended nearby, it can be captured, dealing a heavy blow to the opponent. This expansion adds an extra layer of tactical planning, featuring a public layout track that reveals changing base powers, influencing everyone's actions. It's the kind of game that rewards those who think ahead and know how to use the environment to their advantage. If you enjoy Impulse and crave more strategic depth and a touch of area control, 'All Your Base' is a full plate for galactic domination!
