A thirty-minute game of galactic conquest, Tiny Epic Galaxies is driven by an exciting dice-rolling mechanism that rewards thoughtful programming of the results. Players control a home galaxy and a fleet of space ships. As players upgrade their galaxies, they gain access to more ships and more dice.

Each turn, a player rolls a set of dice; how many dice are rolled is determined by the level of that player's galaxy. Each side of the six-sided die represents a different type of action: Movement, Colony Action, Harvest from Culture Planets, Harvest from Energy Planets, Improve an Economic Influence, and Improve a Diplomatic Influence.

After the roll, the player 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, which allows the player to pull-off unseen combos and surprise other players. Other players have the option to copy other player's actions...at a cost!

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! In addition to galaxy upgrades, effective resource management provides luck-mitigating options that can sway the game in a calculated player's favor.

Whoever achieves the most points from acquiring planets and upgrading their personal galaxy wins!

Epic fun in tiny box!

Love this game - plenty of strategy to think about, options to copy moves of others so you’re attentive between turns, and great for small spaces. Recently passed the time with it at an airport during a flight delay. Highly recommend.

Should be a staple in every gamer group!

Tons of game in a tiny box, easy to learn and complex enough to insure excellent reply value!

Not what I expected

I didn’t expect much when this game was gifted to me. But once I got it to the table I found a deeply rewarding game of resource management, exploration, and player interaction which never took it too far to make the players hate each other by the end. Love it.

Great pick-up game for 1 or more players

I haven't tried the other games from the Tiny Epic series, but I heard this one was the best of the series, and after playing it a few times I can agree that it is certainly a fun game that plays bigger than its size would suggest. In fact, I liked it so much, I backed the Kickstarter campaign for the ULTRA tiny version, as though the original wasn't small enough. It's easy enough to learn and teach and is probably one of the better games out there for solo play as well. A staple for any collection!
