Transgalactica

The Galactic Senate has issued the "Transgalactic Decree" to expand its knowledge and influence beyond the known confines of the galaxy. Fleets from every planet have been dispatched to the stars in search of adventure, riches, and (hopefully) an influential seat in the highest echelons of government beyond known space.

Transgalactica is a worker placement and engine building game with a certain level of player interaction. To thrive in this game, you'll travel to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, upgrade your fleet, compete with other fleets for technological advancements, build a trade network, and also send representatives to the Galactic Senate to claim political advantages.

Designed by Daniele Tascini (author of Tzolk'in, The Voyages of Marco Polo, and Tiletum) and illustrated by Edu Valls (the man behind Bitoku and 3 Ring Circus), Transgalactica allows for games from 2 to 5 players, ages 14 and up, with a duration of approximately 75 minutes. With worker placement and track management as its core mechanics, this game will have us exploring unfathomable space, facing unknown dangers, and exploring remote planets.

The game is divided into five rounds. In each round, players use their Captains to perform powerful actions on their own operations board. The other players can then decide whether to perform the same action using their crew members, albeit at a slightly higher cost or with limited effects. Gradually, players will increase their military power, political influence, or technological level, and earn victory points by exploring, trading, mining, or completing missions. May the best spacefarer win!
