Finished physical draft


Just finished making a physical board and pieces. The pic shows the Coalition Building Phase of a later turn. 

Looking at the Cluster Map, the main portion of the board, we see that an exploration fleet is surveying one of the Tridrans frontier sectors, while internal strife is rampant in a Free Aleeran Republic sector. Also, it looks like the Church of Do has managed to make inroads in one of the sectors of the Universal Symbiosis.

Upper right of the board shows that the Cluster Stability Index has moved up from its starting position of three, increasing the chances that the Stellar Combine invades at the end of the game and all players lose. 

Upper left we see four Coalitions have formed for this turn. The Universal Symbiosis will get the first Action this turn, as it has a partner and two tokens, giving it a net score of 4 for the purpose of coalition building. Then the Betelgeuse Barons will take an Action, as it is sponsored by two partners for a net coalition building score of 3.  The referee will then roll a die to determine the third Action, as the Aleeran Territorial Assertion and the Tridrans are tied at a score of 2 each. The Tridrans have a 'coalition' of one faction, thanks to them spending a token to bring their score to 2.
