This mechanic requires you to place a bid, usually monetary, on items in an auction of goods in order to enhance your position in the game. These goods allow players future actions or improve a position. The auction consists of taking turns placing bids on a given item until one winner is established, allowing the winner to take control of the item being bid on. Usually there is a game rule that helps drop the price of the items being bid on if no players are interested in the item at its current price.
Auction/Bidding
Dice rolling in a game can be used for many things, randomness being the most obvious. Dice can also be used as counters. The dice themselves can be unique and different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things.
Dice Rolling
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
The simultaneous action selection mechanic lets players secretly choose their actions. After they are revealed, the actions resolve following the rule-set of the game.
Simultaneous Action Selection
Maneuvers that directly attack an opposing player's strength, level, life points or do something else to impede their progress.
Take That
In games with a trading mechanic, the players can exchange game items between each other.
Trading
Voting allows players to influence the outcome of certain events within the game. The vote may be all or nothing, choosing a target for an effect, or to determine the results of certain situations. Players’ votes may not have equal weight, and blocking a player from voting can be a valid tactic.

  1. i like Eclipse. would love to play TI3! (i have TI3 but not been able to play it yet...) and this is also very interesting. been described as TI3 in short.

  2. 4 out of 10

    Played short game with development components at UK Games Expo. Exodus has some interesting mechanisms (the dual role selection for example) but the techs didn't feel very balanced (there are definitely some "must haves") and the gameplay overall felt stilted. There are far better 4X games available.

  3. 8 out of 10

    Well, first of all it is important to say I played only the first 5 rounds and with the battles rules wrong. I believe this didn't alter the perception I had of this game overall, though. I enjoy the theme a lot, so I tend to give good ratings for games that explore well the theme of space opera. It is a game that I can compare with 2 oher games: Eclipse and Twilight Imperium. I prefer Exodus from Twilight Imperium because of the downtime that is minimum in Exodus and the playtime is short, too. But TI has a better gear in what complains of Tech Tree and different races with different powers. But with the political phase and actions and reactions system, I liked the way Exodus handle things and it is very enjoyable. Other thing I enjoy better on TI is the tech tree that makes impossible to invest in very advanced technology early in the game. Other thing that is the same is that the galaxy is all known, it makes the exploration more predictable and strategic to players since they know were they want to go. Now comparing to Eclipse. Exodus uses some ideas from Eclipse such as fixed rounds instead of race system, like TI, ship blueprints and other small stuff. Eclipse is a simpler and faster game because it lacks of any political phase with galactic votes. It is because the premisse in Eclipse is that nobody know each other to have a law valid to every player, instead of political phases, Eclipse introduces a diplomacy that works fine in a very simple way. Anyway, I enjoy the political phase more in Exodus than the lack of it on Eclipse. The blueprint is valid in both games but I tend to prefer the Eclipse system better, because you can manipulate not just the amount of dices to roll (number of cannons) and hit points to destroy (hull in Eclipse, shield in Exodus), but the number necessary to hit (computer and shield in Eclipse) and the amount of damage a hit does(different kind of cannons in Eclipse), this one affect the combat aspect and, justice be told, I didn't play the combat with right rules in Exodus to compare proper. Other thing that is an aspect present just in Eclipse and absent in any ways from Exodus or TI is that if you expand your empire, ok, you tend to collect more resources, but the cost of mantaining the empire rises, so the richer not always get richer. Other aspect that I get mixed feelings is that Eclipse has an explore feeling as the galaxy is not fully explored from the start, it is mixed because I like the exploration feeling from Eclipse and it makes sense to get into a hex without so much resources or with surprises, but in other hands knowing were to go from the start is more strategic. In the end I like the tech system from Exodus since it is all open for you since the start, in Eclipse there can be problems that force players to discover different technologies because of the luck, rather than letting them choose the path they want to choose. But in this aspect TI is the best since it has technology that is dependent on other tech to be discovered and I enjoy this feeling more than in the other games. And one of the best aspects from Eclipse and TI is that everyone has different abilities with different races. Overall Exodus is a really decent game, that explore well the potitics, resource manegement and combat on space. And the playtime is in the range from Eclipse to TI.

Be the first to review “Exodus: Proxima Centauri”

After a devastating nuclear war, six human factions are seeking shelter in the Centauri system. On the verge of extinction, the humans are saved by a superior civilization, allegedly the Centaurians, and each faction is given a fresh start on a new planet. Thus the exodus of humanity seems to have ended on the planets orbiting the star called Proxima Centauri. When the Centaurians announce their departure, the struggle for power commences once again.

In Exodus: Proxima Centauri, the six factions fight for dominance in an epic empire-building game, striving to build a new human empire on the ashes of the Centaurian civilization. Each player will build his own space fleet of customized ships and conquer new planets, fight the Centaurian Resistance and the other players, negotiate and vote for political decisions, research Centaurian technologies, and much more.

Exodus is a 4X game featuring a tech tree, blind bidding on political laws and resolutions, hidden movement, resource management, logistics, and engine building. Exodus is a game that greatly encourages and rewards combat with NPCs and other players–both through ships and weapons of mass destruction.
