While the conflict escalates, the leaders receive discomforting reports from the newly discovered sectors, from Sigma Hydrae to Theta Ophiuchi. The systems previously thought to be empty are suddenly swarming with Ancients whole worlds of them, with ship capabilities way beyond anything seen before. They are not willing to negotiate. The former adversaries need to find allies among themselves to face the rising threat. At the same time new factions are trying to get a foothold on the galaxy and even overthrow the Seven. The times are interesting indeed. The Ancients are rising. Will your civilization rise above the others and emerge victorious? Review: If you enjoy Eclipse, proceed to clicking BUY. - Eclipse is one of my favorite games of all time. I love the way it meshes an economic game with a war/area of control game. I've played many times and even in sessions where I've lossed I've come away grinning. Absolutely terrific game and well deserving of its top 10 spot on boardgamegeek.com. If you enjoy the game of Eclipse as well then you should asbolutely pick this expansion up. It comes with a whole lot of stuff that you can mix and match into your game, which I think is the perfect type of expansion as you can mold your game experience to suit your needs. The expansion comes with four new races (on three player boards) allowing up to three new additional players. It subsequently comes with rules for as many as 9 players and even more rules for allowing those games to speed up (specifically for having two people taking actions at the same time). There 'rare technologies' that are unique and can be mixed into the tech draw. There are additional 'developments' that are essentially technologies drawn at the start of the game (again, just one of each). There are new types of ancient ships to use - dreadnaughts as a replacement for the galactic center and cruisers that defend ancient homeworlds (another addition). There are also additional hexes that contain new planets and some warp tyles that act as wormholes do non adjacent spaces. All of these things can be mixed and matched to suit what your group wants to play. The components are absolutely consistent with the original so no issues there. Overall, a superb expansion. I look forward to the next one! Review: what a rip off - $350?

The manufacturer is selling it for much much less this is pure thievery ### ⭐⭐ Not worth the investment *by T***R on February 14, 2013* I own both Eclipse and the expansion. Eclipse is a fabulous game - well balanced, quick to play with multiple strategies possible for victory, 5/5. I bought the game and the expansion at the same time and regret it - the Expansion adds little value (we've never used the new number of players, and the modular potential additions to the game add little value and are pretty random). My advice would be to buy the base game and pass on the expansion unless you have a real need to play with 7 or more players. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/199859-asmodee-eclipse-rise-of-the-ancient-expansion-board-games](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/199859-asmodee-eclipse-rise-of-the-ancient-expansion-board-games) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
