Overview

Image of Rex board gamePublisher's Description

Rex is a strategy board game for three to six players, set in the Twilight Imperium universe. During a game of Rex, each player takes the role of one of the great races attempting to control Mecatol City. Each race has a set of unique economic, military, strategic, or treacherous advantages that allows it to control certain aspects of the game or even win the game with a unique victory condition.

In each game round, players move their units about the game board attempting to collect influence (the main resource in Rex) and conquering areas of Mecatol City.

Though combat and conquest are elements of the game, the heart of the experience is about diplomacy, treachery, and brittle alliances. Players must be careful who they trust, and always be wary of sneaky and often sudden victories.
