About the game
What you do in a play session
For all you Star Trek aficionados looking to broaden your horizons in Star Trek: Ascendancy, get ready to meet the enigmatic Breen! This expansion dives deep into one of the Federation's most mysterious races, who, by the way, couldn't care less about anyone else's opinion. Little is known about them: not who they are, not what they look like, and not even if they're a single species or a collective. What is known is that they are fiercely territorial and have a terrible reputation, so much so that the Romulans warn: 'Never turn your back on a Breen.'
With this expansion, you'll introduce the Breen to your game, allowing an additional player to join the fray or transforming one of your existing empires into a Breen threat. Prepare to explore new star systems, encounter brand-new Exploration Cards that will keep you guessing, and add more Space Lanes and Resource Nodes to the board. It's your chance to unravel (or at least attempt to unravel) the secrets of this feared race and inject a new layer of conflict and strategy into your Ascendancy games. If you enjoy expanding your Star Trek universe with new factions and challenges, this expansion is a must-have!
