About the game
This expansion adds four new Faction decks that give more variety. A band of Sky Pirates, Disgraced Royalty, a Mindless Cult, and an enclave of Freedom Fighters. Red Hegemony, a band of Sky Pirates and Rogues who live on the cloudbases of the acid wastes - a loose collection of slavers and criminals who have escaped justice in other states of the world. - This faction is for players who love to hit fast and hard with small disposable units. Cult of Apsynthos. The Cult is a group who have taken to living in the areas of the Fungal Wastes that Windwalkers fear to tread, due to the presence of toxic psychoactive xenofungus that can easily infect humans. - This faction is for players who love to create chaos and believers in victory at any cost. Coriolan Exiles. These exiles have been forced to find a new way of live, melting down golden thrones to make bullets. Merchant caravans of exiles roam the steppe, trading between the cities. - This faction is for players who like to negotiate and players who like to bide their time. The Dronestate is an independent enclave of Drones who have escaped from the stratified societies of Apsyntion. Drones here speak of freedom and revolution. They wage war to liberate their brethren, using datahacks, subterfuge, assasssination, and sacrifice to achieve their goals. This faction is for players who want to create efficient economies and commit sabotage.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Sovereign: Exiles of Eden is 45–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Sovereign: Exiles of Eden for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Sovereign: Exiles of Eden belongs to these categories: Card Game, Science Fiction, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers and Hand Management.

Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Sovereign: Exiles of Eden are: Damon Stea. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Sovereign: Exiles of Eden as an expansion for Sovereign: Fall of Wormwood.
