Dive into a cosmic mission where you're elite mercenaries hired by the Megacorps to hunt down and harvest dangerous mutations across the galaxy. The cool part is, each pilot has a unique synergy with a specific mech, and combining them unlocks a suite of powers and abilities that are all yours. Think of it like building your own custom super-robot! The cash you earn from dismantling these creatures (by collecting their DNA, of course!) is used to upgrade your mechs with cutting-edge weaponry and equipment. It's the perfect blend between the thrill of crafting a unique character that reflects your playstyle and the deep strategy of a solid Eurogame. You'll need to carefully consider where to place your workers (and which type of worker!) to optimize your actions, secure the best resources, and, naturally, send those mutations packing. With a strategic weight that appeals to those who enjoy a good challenge (BGG rating 3.2/5 and Ludopedia 8.10!), Galaxy Hunters offers an experience lasting 60 to 120 minutes for 2 to 4 players. If you're into science fiction, space exploration, and mechanics like Worker Placement and Set Collection, with a dash of asymmetric powers, this game is for you! Get your mechs ready, mercenaries, the galaxy won't save itself! ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime for Galaxy Hunters?
