One of our favorite science fiction games this year is Space Empires 4X from GMT. Now the first expansion is hitting and I’ll take a look to see what you can expect when you crack open the box for Space Empires: Close Encounters. Designed by Jim Krohn, the expansion brings loads of new ships, scenarios, advantages, and lots more to ratchet your Space Empires games to a whole new level!

Since the original game was known for having miscut counter sheets (my copy’s counters were miscut), some of the counter sheets shown here are a reprint of the base game (that was a nice touch by GMT).
The remaining counter sheets are new for items being introduced.
Many thanks for this video, it clearly shows that the expansion is indeed jam packed with stuff!
