Description

A revised edition of A Billion Suns, the game of intense starship combat featuring new missions and modes of play.

A Billion Suns: Second Edition, the wargame of interstellar combat, puts you in command of fleets of powerful starships. This revised and updated edition contains improved, streamlined, and expanded gameplay as well as an updated campaign system, along with new solo rules.

A Billion Suns: Second Edition contains three distinct game types that escalate in game size and complexity, allowing players to pick what suits their playtime and skill level. The quick start rules allow new or returning players to jump straight into the game and the Limited Mode lets players use premade lists and battle it out, the classic wargaming experience. Finally, Unlimited Mode, the original A Billion Suns gameplay, where fleets are created and developed over the course of the game.

This second edition also features three sets of Contracts: the Core Systems, Warzone, and Fringe. These Contracts determine what scenarios and missions players undertake with objectives ranging from simple combat encounters to heists and smuggling. Along with premade ship classes, there are also revised customisation options that give players even more choice in creating and upgrading their vessels.

This new, streamlined second edition provides all the rules for players to lead their fleet to victory and assert their dominance over the stars.
