Tiny Epic Galaxies is driven by an exciting dice-rolling mechanic that rewards thoughtful programming of the results. Players control a home planet and a series of space ships within their own personal galaxy. As players upgrade their galaxies they gain access to more ships and more dice. Each turn, a player will roll a set of dice, how many dice are rolled is determined by the level of that player’s galaxy. Each side of the die (6 sided) represents a different type of action: Movement, Colony Action, Harvest from Culture Planets, Harvest from Energy Planets, Improve an Economic Influence, Improve a Diplomatic Influence. After the roll, the player then sorts the results of the roll (one selective re-roll is allowed) and organizes the dice in a desired activation order. Each die, in order, is then resolved and the results are immediate! This gets very exciting, as it allows the player to pull-off unseen combos and surprise other players. But don’t fret! Other players have the option to copy other player’s actions… at a cost! In addition to upgrading galaxies, effective resource management provides luck-mitigating options that can sway the game in a calculated player’s favor. As players expand their galaxy by colonizing other planets through economic and diplomatic influence, they gain victory points AND the special powers brought in by those planets! You are the ruler of your galaxy and there are no limits to your expansion!

This accomplishes several important things in the game:1. It keeps players engaged on their opponents turns, thus eliminating down time boredom.2. It speeds up the game by letting players advance their…
Don’t pay these scalpers $40+! This game’s MSRP is $25 and can be found elsewhere. FIRST OF ALL: I paid $20.00 for this game in June 2017, so don’t pay these scalpers $40+ for this game. This game sells for $25 BRAND NEW in other stores online, so you’ll have to do a quick Google search, but trust me — they’re there.Anyway…I bought this game to play as a solo game.Everything in the box comes in a bunch of small, resealable, clear plastic baggies, so everything is well organized and not bouncing around. Also, I sleeved all of my cards and they…
Best single player game I’ve come across, and good multiplayer I’ve heard this game described as “a better version of Harbour”. Perhaps the “generic” version of Harbour, but that game has unique special character sides to play, this game everyone’s space fleet is exactly identical without any unique skills. Which takes away a little bit of desire for replay-ability (it doesn’t have the “oooh, this other ability would have made my game so much easier, I can’t wait to try it out next time”), but the core mechanics are superior…
