Something new is coming. Whispers of prophecies and mysterious shrines have sparked a movement of renewal and rebirth. Meanwhile, engineers have found fragments of raider tech and have repurposed it; taking the tools of the enemy and turning it against them. Genesis is the second expansion for Andromeda’s Edge. Genesis includes three new factions (Martian Terraformers, Precog Hybrids, Wood Whisperers), two new foes to face (Cosmic Frog, The CUBE), new regions such as the Cosmic Swamp, the Innovation Hub, Corrupted Stars (Sia and Ceti Alpha), and six half tile Ancient Shrines! The expansion introduces a new event deck (Persistence of Memory), 15 new development abilities and an exciting deck of exotech cards allowing you permanent effects, the ability to control raiders and more! Genesis is compatible with solo play, when played with the Escalation expansion. —description from the publisher
