TDG: Star Trek Ascendancy: The Breen Confederacy

The Romulans say, "Never turn your back on a Breen." But they don't look too good from the front, so what are you gonna do? Join Cody as he explores this strange, new expansion to Star Trek: Ascendancy from Gale Force Nine. Will it seek out new life on your tabletop? Or should you just toss it into a wormhole? Let's watch.

The expansions designer here, just wanted to say thanks again for you review. Between this and the Dominion war expansions its been awesome seeing the response to my contribution to the game.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Great expansions. Great job! Thanks.

[@navy3001]

when is the next expansion?

[@PythosianMan]

Another great review Cody, thank you so much. Already have both expansions on order thanks to you :) In return I present a joke... What's Odo's least favourite sub atomic particle? . . . A quark.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

First rate! Happy to help!

Dang it, now I want to visit West Jordan, Utah! The Breen sound interesting. Their techs and fleets make them a *really* tough nut to crack. On the other hand, if I were playing as them I could see myself inadvertently let the game slip away to another military power by not wanting to risk intervening in conflicts outside my territory. Another player could gobble up homeworlds while I spent my time "consolidating my position" (i.e., turtling). I like what this faction brings to the table.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Indeed. You are right, there's a lot of new strategic possibilities with this faction.

[@davedogge2280]

What do you call The Breen Confederacy after the Dominion War ... ? ... . ... ... "A Complete bunch of has-breens"

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Indeed!

My partner and I love ascendancy,and are keen to try out the Breen expansion! Excellent review! Thank you. My partner gave you his Star Trek joke.. Here is mine. What do Ferengi and Bajoran's have on common?... They both believe in profits!.... It works better out loud.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Ha! Thanks!

[@PythosianMan]

I used that one in my lectures, went down a treat to the few trekkies there ;D also, Cody, she's viscous in STA, hopefully the Breen finally give me an isolationist advantage ;P

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

@@PythosianMan Ha! Best of luck to you!

[@danmillar6323]

can't wait to get my copy of this expansion!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

You’ll enjoy it.

[@partymeeple5633]

That rock n roll! So cool !! Oh, and there's also a nice game. ~ laughs ~

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Fantastic!

'What's E.T. short for? .......... ......... ........ ....... ...... ..... .... ... .. . ..He's only got little legs...'

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Right?

[@jordigrau3582]

Works fine with borg expansion?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

It should.

[@erikjordheim2933]

Okay Cody, you made me wait until this review came out so... What is your recommendation for order of purchase when it comes to the expansions?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

All the expansions, or just the most recent two?

[@erikjordheim6201]

All the expansions of course! I need to invest my money wisely!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

@@erikjordheim6201 I'm not prepared to rank them right now. That would take too much thought on my part. Sorry.

[@erikjordheim6201]

That is a feeling I can well understand! I will wait patiently to see if the Cardassians still come out on top! 👍

[@Elicurren]

First thumbs up!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

fantastic!

[@swells1]

Whales there lol
