The balance of power continues to shape the Pocket Universe. The discovery of a second wave of planets brought on alternate methods of domination. With the overarching themes of duplicity (doubling effects), magnitude (size of your galaxy), and all-out attacking, the war over control of the galaxy has escalated to a new level.

Universal Rule: Second Wave is a standalone expansion to Universal Rule.

It can be played in one of the following ways:

Play Second Wave all by itself.
Randomize 17 Planet cards and 1 Edge card.
Choose your favorite combination of 17 Planet cards and 1 Edge card.

In Universal Rule: Second Wave, players battle for control of the universe in this pocket-sized 4X style game. You can colonize new planets, explore new areas on those planets, gain credits based off of the resources that the planet produces, or attempt to destroy other planets that threaten your existence. Other players can follow, but at a cost. The first player to show their true dominance through victory points wins the game.
