Description

Impulse is a space-themed board game where 2 to 6 players explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate their way to victory. The game is set up with a modular board composed of cards, each with its own actions and connections to adjacent cards. Players start with their own Home card and a fleet of ships, and on each turn, they add a card to the shared Impulse line, perform actions, and draw new cards. As players navigate the ever-changing Impulse, they must strategically feed it with actions that benefit them more than their opponents. With a mix of hand management, area control, and conflict resolution, Impulse offers a thrilling experience that's easy to learn but challenging to master. With a playtime of 30 to 60 minutes, Impulse is a quick-playing game that's perfect for fans of science fiction and space exploration, and its variable player powers and modular board ensure a unique experience each time.
