4X board games bring the elements of eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate to the tabletop.

These games offer several hours of rich and immersive gameplay experiences, often requiring strategic thinking, resource management, negotiation skills, and adaptability to constantly changing circumstances on the board. Some of our favorite 4X games include Eclipse 2nd Dawn, Twilight Imperium 4, and Star Trek: Ascendancy.
