Hey Rules Lawyers! This came down to the wire a little bit, but the Eclipse tutorial is complete! I had a lot of fun with this one, tried a few new things, some of which are very cool, some of which are very stupid, all of which I'm very happy with. All in all, I'm happy with this video and I hope you all like it.

I'll have the early access strategy video up next week, and after that I'll be doing two more extras. In the future I'll be doing fewer extra videos, but there are two topics I really wanted to cover: a comparison between this and Twilight Imperium, because duh, and a ranking of all the different ship sculpts, because some of them are fantastic and some of them are awful and I just want to do a dumb fun video about that. And if you want to watch me runthrough the game and provide some final thoughts, I did both of those things for Rahdo.

I'm specifically referring to the Cleanup phase admin. You do still need to do the Upkeep before it.
