The universe is organized into many federations which trade, intrigue, develop… One of these federations, still not fully developed yet (5 member planets so far) wants a new delegation to join them, but you are not the only one having your sights set on the federation. The Federation challenges you to prove your worth for 5 years. During these 5 years, you must develop strategies, deploy tactics, take the best opportunities but also form the right alliances at the right time… In the end, only 1 delegation will be chosen: the one with the most prestige! Federation is an interactive Eurogame with innovative double-sided worker placement mechanic. Federation is played over 5 rounds. Each round is divided into 2 main steps. The first step is player turns where each player plays an Ambassador’s pawn and send a spaceship on a special mission. Once all players have completed their turn, the Executive Phase starts, where players receive their income, fund Major Projects and pass laws. At the end of the 5 th round, the game ends. The Player with the most prestige points wins the game and joins the Federation. In case of a tie, the victory is shared. Your individual board is composed of the 5 federated actions, 1 spy action, some senate actions and some special senate actions giving prestige points.
