Glenn Drover’s Empires: Galactic Rebellion

About this board game

Glenn Drover’s Empires: Galactic Rebellion is a 2–6 player board game with an approximately 180-minute play time, in which rival rebel factions struggle to overthrow a corrupt Galactic Senate.

As the leader of one rebel faction, you must recruit and train specialists to advance your cause. Each faction has its own vision for life in the galaxy, but the rebels despise one another almost as much as they hate the Senate. Only one faction can ultimately wield power.

Build your rebellion by assigning key specialists to different areas of activity. Scientists conduct research into new technologies that may shift the balance, while Smugglers help establish a trade network. Diplomats join the Senate to influence critical decisions, Heroes undertake Covert Missions, and Troopers fight battles as conflict erupts on planets across the galaxy.

• Galactic Senate: pursue influence over critical decisions.
• Covert Missions: send Heroes to support the rebel cause.
• Capital Ship Fleets: command a new sphere of activity in the galactic struggle.
• Specialists: use Scientists, Smugglers, Diplomats, Heroes, and Troopers to develop your faction.

Empires: Galactic Rebellion is a sequel to Empires: Age of Discovery, using similar overall mechanisms while reworking many actions to suit its setting. New spheres of activity, including Covert Missions, the Galactic Senate, and Capital Ship Fleets, create an entirely new experience.

Recruit, research, trade, influence, and fight as you lead your faction toward liberation. In Glenn Drover’s Empires: Galactic Rebellion, victory belongs to the rebel leader who can free the galaxy from tyranny and overcome every rival.
