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.

Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 6 out of 10

    I'm prob not a 4x player but for a 4x game this was decent. not too much downtime and decent emphasis on combat. rating likely to stay around 6. won't seek out more plays but ok to play. Second play was with the expansion. Asymmetry introduces the possibility of imbalance. It requires (as the designer/publisher says) experienced players but while I enjoyed the play alright, I'm not sure I'll put in the number of plays to get the best out of the expansion. Overall, it felt like an adequate 4x but possibly reinforced my opinion that I don't like 4x that much, especially when combat comes down to some form of dice rolls (though mitigable).

    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. 6 out of 10

    This game is somewhere between Eclipse and TI3. It is not that much of micromanagement as Eclipse, and hardly as combat/action driven as TI3. This fact makes it a perfect 4x space exploration game, fit for newbies and for players who do not have the time to immerse in TI3's universe for example. The gameplay is nice, combining a bit of diplomacy, resource management, combat and tech advancement.

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.
