Description

Space Empires: Replicators is an exciting expansion to the Space Empires series, introducing a range of new features to enhance gameplay. One of the most significant additions is the Replicators, self-replicating machines that can be used by a fifth player, as an opponent in co-op games, or as a teaching empire for new players. These machines behave, research, and reproduce differently from other empires, offering a unique twist on traditional gameplay. The expansion also includes new hex-sized terrain tiles, which add a visual element to the game and create more room in the hexes for gameplay. The expansion offers a range of other new features, including new ships, resource decks, and Empire Advantages. Players are dealt their own resource deck at the start of the game, which can be used to add unpredictable twists and impact strategy. New ships, such as Battle Carriers and Advanced Destroyers, can be researched and built, offering new possibilities for gameplay. With a playtime of 180 minutes, Space Empires: Replicators is a game that will keep you engaged for hours, whether you're playing solo or with up to four friends. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to fans of board games, and the new features and mechanics add a fresh layer of excitement to the Space Empires series.
