GALACTIC CRUISE review
Will you be the next CEO of the stars?
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:
see the 3 minute video below to get acquainted with the game elements
play the intro game
find a person who has played it before
just go for it
