Eqular: Allegiance

En bref · fiche BoardGameGeek traduite

Eqular : Allegiance est un jeu de société stratégique pour 2 à 6 joueurs, axé sur le placement d’ouvriers et le développement de colonies dans un univers de science-fiction compétitif où les factions s’affrontent. Dans un contexte de conflit entre deux grandes puissances galactiques, l’Alliance Galactique Unie et le Directoire, les joueurs incarnent l’une de ces factions ou une puissante faction neutre cherchant à établir sa domination sur une planète nouvellement colonisée en territoire neutre. Le jeu se déroule en une série de tours et de phases. Au cours des phases de délégation, les joueurs affectent des ouvriers à des cases d’action communes ; plusieurs joueurs peuvent occuper le même emplacement et se partager les avantages qui en découlent. Les phases de gestion de colonie permettent ensuite aux joueurs de produire des ressources, de favoriser la croissance démographique et d’étendre leurs colonies sur un plateau composé d’une grille de 16×16 cases. La partie se termine après le 16e tour ou lorsqu’un joueur atteint la limite maximale de population. Les joueurs gagnent des points de victoire en construisant des bâtiments spécifiques, en acquérant de la « Neurostone », en obtenant des titres liés à des étapes clés et en collectant des jetons de points de victoire grâce à divers effets du jeu. —description fournie par l’éditeur

Présentation de la campagne

Welcome to Eqular: Allegiance. A game of strategic colony building and diplomatic maneuvering on a newly discovered planet in the galaxy of Eqular. In Eqular: Allegiance you are the leader of a fledgling colony tasked with guiding your people to prosperity amid the backdrop of a galaxy torn by conflict. While war rages on beyond the planet, here you find the offer of a fragile hope. A chance to build something new.

Align yourself with one of Eqular's major factions and send your trusted delegates to the bustling Starport. On the Starport you will negotiate trade, broker deals, and influence decisions that will shape your colony's future. Will you invest in advanced research? Construct powerful infrastructure? Become a cog in the war machine? Claim prestigious titles? Every decision you make echoes across your colony.

Compete with rival colonies in a race for growth, recognition, and dominance. In the end, only one colony will rise as the beacon of civilization on this untamed world.

The stars may burn with war... But here, away from it all, your legacy begins.

"You want to chat with me about designing a board game? I am just in brainstorming mode for it rn."

"Sure!"

That was the beginning of Eqular: Allegiance. Our goal was to produce a game that combined the mechanics and qualities of our own favorite games. Mechanics like worker placement, free-trade between players, and custom base building. One game quality we deemed mandatory was well-developed lore. Fortunately, one of the brothers had already designed and thought up the galaxy of Eqular.

After combining all of these together we marveled at our final product! A badly balanced game with clear metas that led to the same boring strategy being used game after game - OUCH. That being said there was still something about our game that was unique. The potential was there it simply needed refinement.

All of our good ideas and in-depth lore were not enough. We needed people who were willing to commit many hours of their days to help us playtest and refine our game into something better. And after that, thanks to their help, Eqular: Allegiance was eventually completed.

We believe backers deserve complete transparency about the game they’re supporting.
