Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy – Seekers

Depends on your group

Our take: A BGG poster lists Outcasts and Seekers as nice to have, and calls them must-haves only for groups with 24-30+ plays each who are bored of the base species. A 2024 first-impression poster says the Second Dawn versions play well, while another is disappointed in the production and says they are not a must buy.
What you need first: Just the base game

What it adds: Two new species, the Magellan and the Enlightened of Lyra, each with its own miniatures, player tray and ship parts. Magellan gain a free Discovery tile from technology and score for Discovery tiles used as ship parts; the Enlightened build Shrines that unlock bonuses and end-game points.
