As the subject says, we are having a bunch of friends over for game night tomorrow, and one of the few games I have that will fit seven players is Eclipse (+ RotA), so I thought I'd take it for a run. I know it's not optimal introduce the game to six (plus me) mostly new players, but that's what I have got to roll with.
So, do you have any suggestions?
* Preparations I should make, print outs to hand out?
* Are there any particularly good "learn the basics in 5 minutes" documents/files I could send them to study beforehand (excluding the rule book)?
* What from the base + RotA should we use (as little as possible, I imagine), and what can we skip?
* I'll give the six human factions to the other players, and will take one of the alien races myself. As I haven't played the game more than a couple of test runs, what race would you suggest for me?
It'll probably be a bit chaotic, but I think we're fine with that.
Grateful for any suggestions!
