Description

Eclipse is a quick and simple game that's all about pushing your luck with dice. In this fast-paced game, 2 to 4 players compete to be the first to cover their scoring grid with black tiles, and it only takes about 20 minutes to play. The rules are easy to learn, so you can dive right in and start rolling the dice. On each turn, you'll throw 5 dice and set aside any that show the black side, then decide whether to quit or keep going. If you quit, you'll place tiles on your grid, but if you go on, you'll roll the remaining dice again, trying to add more black sides to your collection. As you play, you'll need to think strategically about when to take risks and when to play it safe. You can even launch an attack on another player, rolling the dice to place tiles on their grid and try to mess up their plans. The tile placement rules add an extra layer of challenge, requiring you to think carefully about where to put each piece. With its unique blend of luck and strategy, Eclipse is a fun and exciting game that's perfect for a quick game night or a casual gathering with friends. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a new game to try, Eclipse is a great choice.
