Hi all. This game is now available in the files section:Eclipse – Cataclysm of the Monoliths is a two-player cooperative variant for the game. It includes attacking and defending enemies with separate behaviors, including a sophisticated enemy movement AI that requires players to race toward their goal through hordes of foes while protecting their flanks. A variable upgrading process for enemy ships lets them evolve into formidable fighting fleets. The enemies reinforce existing fleets and muster new ones as they attempt to thwart your progress, while their ultimate destructive armada lurks in the back steadfastly preparing for your ultimate attack. The file includes everything needed to print and play, including instructions, player reference sheets, several sets of new cards, and scoring sheets.
The flavor text is included below. If somebody with artistic talent wants to make fancy graphics for this, I would be happy to share the original docx.
Enjoy!

The discovery of two ancient monoliths of immense power has spawned an epic race to control them. Scientists have determined that when the two monoliths are joined they form a weapon capable of destroying entire star systems, but the technology is unstable and may implode if not quickly recovered, releasing immeasurable destructive force across the universe. Now one monolith is controlled by hordes of enemies, while the other remains in allied control. The allies must combine forces to capture the enemy monolith before time runs out, while guarding control of their own.
