I brought it for my arkham horror cards, they fit perfectly and it looks amazing.
Got a bag for the tokens, but it's just big enough for all of them. Could be bigger.

Kidding, kidding, it's not that bad. I recommend this game for anyone that has already tried and loves the original since you'll have to be somewhat prepared to deal with playing in a much more compact format. No point in buying a game that you have no familiarity with and then having to potentially struggle with handling the game's components too. If you're a person that just loves to collect miniature versions of fun toys and games, then this one is a great addition to the collection.
Takes less room then the original and includes the satellites expansion!
Tiny Epic Galaxies is a great game so to have an Ultra Tiny version of it means you can play it in so many more places as it requires a fraction of the table space. I personally bought this so I have a good, weighty game to play in the backcountry when hiking. Takes up the same space as a deck of cards but gives me a full playing experience for up to 5 people, a solo mode, AND comes with the mini-expansion included. You get a lot of game for such a small package. If you don't need something Ultra Tiny then I highly recommend you get the normal version as the components are nicer and playing with the larger cards is just a better experience. But if you need a great game in a tiny package, you can't go wrong!!!
The Tiny Epic (TE) series packs big games in small boxes, and here they've crammed a big game in a VERY small box. It works pretty well, too.
The gist of Ultra Tiny Epic Galaxies (UTEG) is to score 21 victory points as quickly as possible by collecting planets to add to your galaxy and by upgrading your empire while your opponent(s) try to do the same thing before you. UTEG is fun and quick, and there's more strategy to this game than I first expected. The catch is that your opponent can follow you on each action you take, provided that he has the resources to do so. Downtime between turns is short and the tension is high. As usual for TE series, the rules are easy to learn and the game is quick.
This particular version is very tiny, taking just a minimal amount of table real estate, even with four players. It's cute, really. But, at this size, I have to admit it's easy to knock the components out of place. Though, being careful, it's easy to unpack and set the game back in its box. Speaking of components, my copy was missing two wood cubes. After contacting them, Gamelyn Games sent me replacement parts for free!
All in all, for 20$ CAD, you get a cute curio that is also a great game.
