Imperial Stars II Legacy Edition by Pungo Games Launches on Kickstarter
Pungo Games has launched Imperial Stars II Legacy Edition, a reimagined version of the popular 4X board game designed by Chris Taylor, co-creator of the Fallout video game series.
Set in the year 4096, the game places players in the roles of commanders from two human empires, once allies, now locked in conflict over dwindling resources and the last uncolonized planets. With diplomacy having failed, the fate of these empires now rests in the hands of admirals and captains, leading their fleets through exploration, combat, and strategic maneuvers across the galaxy.
Imperial Stars II Legacy Edition is a reprint of the original Imperial Stars II, first released in 2014, now enhanced with new content and upgraded components. This edition combines the base game with two expansions, designed by Chris Taylor and Alan Emerich, which introduce additional mechanics that deepen the gameplay.
Players can now experience expanded options, such as technological advancements, distinctive ship designs, and the development of planetary systems, which alter the strategic landscape. The inclusion of events in each galactic cycle adds a narrative layer to the game, introducing political and social challenges that further shape the course of play.
The new edition features improved game boards, larger counters, and high-quality cards, all contributing to a visually rich and engaging environment. Battles and exploration unfold over maps as players navigate the balance between aggression and resource management in their quest to control the stars.
The campaign will run until October 8, offering supporters the chance to secure this deluxe edition of the game.
