In GC you help run an interstellar travel company. Structurally, it’s a worker placement game with a plethora of plates to keep spinning.

Each set up is different and with multiple ways to victory, limited resources, and the pressure of competition you are bound to have smoke-out-of-your-ears-moments 🤪

It is a heavy game and it takes a few play-throughs to get familiar with the rules and rhythm. However, when you get the basics it is easily comprehendible and clear in the turn structure and game mechanics.

Then it's just about who has the best strategic eye for combining goals and resources!

To minimize rule mongering I recommend:

Battle of Gods is an absolute riot of a game where everyone fights everyone until last God standing. It delivers fast-paced Norse mythology combat, entertaining moments, and many laughs. Dropping these oversized, gorgeous miniatures onto the cramped arena instantly sets an epic mood, but it is the chaotic dice-chucking and card combos that truly bring out the fun. The game is both chance-based and strategic since each figure has it's own glorious powers. BUT ALAS! your rolls may block your ability to release your world-shattering potential!

We played the game including the 2 expansion, so with all 6 figures.

This is definitely a game I will come back to! 🤩
