About this board game
Efemeris is a 2018 adventure board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 40 minutes. Set aboard French, English, and Spanish navy vessels, it sends fleet commanders into the firmament to compete for control of the trade routes.
Guide your fleet through the skies using stellar winds, seeking to open the safest courses to your territories. Your objective is to establish your Nation’s hegemony by conquering five planets, turning careful maneuvering and strategic decisions into a path toward domination.
Efemeris offers two distinct ways to play. Choose the highly competitive duel mode for a direct contest, or join forces in the cooperative team mode for a shared challenge among commanders.
- Select captains according to their unique skills.
- Oversee the recruitment of their crew.
- Explore the canopy of heavens and collect resources for your business.
- Confront enemy vessels that threaten your fleet.
Every voyage combines exploration, fleet management, and competition for valuable routes. As you navigate the heavens, you must balance the search for resources with the need to protect your progress and advance your Nation’s ambitions.
Enemy vessels may challenge your plans, and Efemeris allows you to answer those threats by destroying ships that dare to confront your fleet. Whether played as a tense duel or a cooperative team experience, the game places you in command of a navy pursuing control of five planets and the trade network between them.
