Description
DESCRIPTION OF THE BOARD GAME RACE FOR THE GALAXY
It's time to glorify your space state. You are entrusted with an important task: to explore and populate new planets, introduce advanced space technology and achieve economic stability of your empire. The fight for the Galaxy promises to be interesting - you have worthy opponents. Dispose of the power properly given to you.
ROUNDS AND PHASES IN THE GAME
The game consists of several rounds - usually about 11. Each round, players will choose one of seven action cards that activate one of the five phases. The player-activated phase is available to all players. The player or players who have activated the phase receive an additional bonus of the action card. The phases are played in a certain order from the first to the fifth, if some phases have not been activated, they are skipped in this round. At the end of the fifth phase, the round ends: the players return the played action card, check the condition of the end of the game and move on to a new round or determining the winner.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPACE STATE
Each player starts the game with four playing cards in his hand and the starting planet in his sector of the galaxy. Cards in hand can be technological developments or studied planets, currency for payment or goods. By playing action cards, you will activate certain phases that allow you to replenish your hand with playing cards, explore and capture the planets, produce goods, and get winning points.
The development of technology on your planet will allow you to use the phases to greater advantage, and sophisticated technology chains will lead your country to victory. Do not forget about the expansion - each planet will bring you goods in the production phase, and in the consumption phase, goods can be converted into points or cards in hand (money).
PHASES IN THE GALAXY
As mentioned earlier, all activated phases are performed in the following order:
- Research Phase - activated by one of two types of Research action cards. In this phase, players take 2 cards from the deck and leave 1. The action card bonus can allow the player to take an additional 5 cards, ie. only 7 or take another and leave one;
- Development phase - in the development phase, players choose the Technology map in their hand and lay it face down. The technology map has a diamond-shaped icon in the upper left corner, as well as cost. When all the players who want to introduce a new development in their country have laid out the cards - the cards can be turned over and placed in the area of their empire, while paying their price. As a bonus for the player who played this action, the application cost will be reduced by 1. The calculation for use is made by hand - discard the required number of cards from the hand;
- The Development phase is similar to the development phase. In this phase there is a development of planets. The planet can be populated or captured. Population of the planet will cost a certain amount (payment by card from hand), and for the Capture to develop technology and increase military power. There are several types of planets (defined by the color of the planet) and they produce goods of different value.
- Consumption Phase - All players must use the Consumption capabilities. In this phase, players exchange their goods for winning points. Goods can be sold by playing the "Consumption: Sale" action card. In this case, you can sell one product and get for it from 2 to 5 cards (they are money in our case). Bonuses can be double points and additional cards at the time of sale.
- Production Phase - All your Planets produce goods: take a card from the deck and place it on the planet map. Manufactured Goods have a value determined by color on the map of the Planet.
END OF GAME
After the fifth phase, the next round is coming to an end. Before the start of a new round, the end of the game is checked:
- all tokens of winning points are disassembled (initially the bank of tokens consists of 12 for each player);
- 12 or more cards are laid out (built, researched, implemented) in the player's zone.
The winner is the player who scored the most points: software tokens during the game, points for implemented technologies and explored planets.
