About the game

What you do in a play session

In a not-so-distant future, the galaxy groans under the heel of tyrannical megacorporations, and once-peaceful planets have become battlegrounds. Gigantic biomechanical creatures serve as the weapons devastating these worlds, but for some, this instability is a golden opportunity. This is where the **Galaxy Hunters** come in! This eurogame puts you in the shoes of one of these daring individuals, seeking power and influence amidst the chaos. The gameplay revolves around placing your workers to gather precious resources and acquire equipment – represented by tiles you strategically place to upgrade your own giant mech. With a modular board that changes each game and variable player powers offering distinct strategies, every session presents a new challenge. After outfitting your mech with the best weapons and defenses, it's time to deploy it to combat the monsters plaguing the planets. Combat is deterministic, so plan your moves carefully! Defeating these beasts earns you victory points, missions, and rewards to further enhance your gear and become the ultimate hunter. Prepare for an epic journey of mech building, resource management, and intense space battles. If you enjoy games with strategic depth, sci-fi themes, and the thrill of seeing your robot evolve, Galaxy Hunters is a fantastic choice!
