Description

Impulse: All Your Base is an exciting expansion to the original Impulse game, designed by Carl Chudyk and released in 2017. This expansion can be played with or without the Brake for Launch expansion, offering a fresh twist on the original game. Players take on the challenge of building bases in their local areas of space, leveraging communal special powers to further their cause. The game introduces a parallel public layout track, which indicates the shifting powers of bases for all players, adding a new layer of strategy to the game. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 6 players can dive into a game that lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. As an area-control add-on, All Your Base allows players to focus on developing their pocket of space to match their strategy. Building at least one base is crucial to scoring points, and the more bases you have, the more points you'll score. However, beware of enemy cruisers that can easily destroy your bases, or worse, capture them and deal a devastating blow to your previous progress. With its unique blend of area majority, grid movement, and hand management mechanics, Impulse: All Your Base offers a thrilling experience that combines bluffing, economic management, and space exploration. Whether you're a fan of the original game or new to the series, this expansion is sure to deliver a fun and challenging experience.
