There goes Space Settlers of Catan...

White Wolf games is continuing to expand their line of board games, and one of the items up for grabs is EVE: Conquests. While there isn't a lot of information yet on the gameplay, it will be very strategy based - gathering lots and lots of resources no doubt!

The board will be 30” x 32” and “there will be lots of very hefty pieces,” designer Petur Thorarinsson told us. The game will be for two to four players, and take two to four hours to play.

“It’s got a Euro-style mechanic to it,” Thorarinsson said. “It’s very easy to learn, but has a very deep game play and a lot of strategy to it.” Thorarinsson indicated that no knowledge of the Eve universe would be necessary to play the game, and that although Eve Online players would be a natural audience for it, some gamers would undoubtedly be introduced to the Eve universe for the first time by the board game.
