As anyone that plays competitive team
sports can tell you, it’s just as important to know your own team
as it is to know your opponent. Knowing the actions and temperaments
of teammates is crucial to group success, and having the ability to
put yourself in another’s shoes and understand how they think—to
know their personal motivations—is going to make you much more
effective on a team. Yet I've seen some amazing groups of gamers who
have never met each other come together and play very effectively as
a team. This approaching weekend, I’m going to be at Balticon
running demo’s of Solar Echoes, and I’m already excited when
thinking about what kind of teams I’ll be interacting with. There
something incredible about playing a tabletop game at conventions,
where teams are often comprised of total strangers.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
