Core Worlds
Introduction
The ancient Galactic Realm ruled from the Core Worlds of the galaxy is waning. Now the barbaric kingdoms that lie beyond the galactic frontier are amassing their strength choosing this pivotal moment to strike at the heart of the fading republic establishing new empires built upon the ashes of decaying civilizations. But these outer systems are not yet strong enough to engage the forces of the Core Worlds directly. The young kingdoms must first gnaw at the edges of the crumbling frontier developing new types of units and shrewder tactics. They must build up their energy resources to launch magnificent fleets and overwhelming ground forces. Then when the time is right they must strike at the galactic core itself claiming the most exalted planets for themselves. The barbarian kingdom that achieves these goals will carve out the greatest empire in the galaxy.
Object of the Game
Each player controls a barbarian Star Empire represented by many cards. Throughout the game players will invade Worlds and draft new Units and Tactics into their Empires. Each card lists its Empire Points in the upper right corner. The player whose Empire contains the most Empire Points at the end of the game is the winner!

Core Worlds uitbreidingen
Core Worlds: Galactic Orders
In Core Worlds: Galactic Orders – the first expansion to Core Worlds the deck-building card game of intergalactic conquest – players begin to forge alliances with the six Galactic Orders powerful organizations that have maintained their independence in the midst of a crumbling empire. These Orders consist of the Galactic Senate the Science Guild the Merchant Alliance the Mining Coalition the Order of Knighthood and the Mystic Brotherhood. The Galactic Orders expansion focuses on these six independent organizations and their influence upon a galaxy at war.Each Galactic Order is represented on the table by a large Galactic Order card that specifies the special power associated with that Order and each player starts with 20 Faction Tokens that match the Faction symbols on their Starting Decks. Whenever a player deploys a Unit or plays a Tactic with a Galactic Order icon on it he gets to place his Faction Token onto the corresponding Galactic Order card. Players must choose between leaving their Faction Tokens on the Galactic Order cards to score points at the end of the game or removing their Faction Tokens in order to use the unique special powers associated with each Order.
Core Worlds Revolution
The Supreme Monarch gazed out his palace window trembling with rage at the galaxy that had forsaken him. For long months he had retained his people's allegiance by branding his enemies as barbaric invaders as marauders whose only goal was to plunder and ravage his empire. But now reports were spreading that these invaders were rebuilding their conquered worlds and adorning them with marvelous advancements. Moreover many of the realm's greatest heroes were flocking to his enemies' side and their heroic exploits were fast becoming the stuff of popular legend.The situation had worsened. This was no longer a mere incursion into his territory a simple uprising to be quelled. The galaxy now stood at the threshold of something far greater something far more dangerous. And his people dared to embrace it! But he would make his people suffer even if his retaliation ended in the devastation of entire worlds. He would not allow his kingdom to betray him with impunity even if he was ultimately powerless to stem the tide of the coming REVOLUTION!Core Worlds: Revolution allows players to delve deeper into the story of the Core Worlds universe. Players will be able to build incredible Advancements on their conquered Worlds including Cosmic Terraformers Wormhole Generators and Dark Energy Power Cores.
