About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for liftoff in One Deck Galaxy, a cooperative adventure for 1 or 2 players that puts you in command of an expanding space civilization! Your stellar crew is hungry for discovery, so it's time to explore, colonize, and research the far reaches of the universe. But beware, as space is full of hidden dangers that require you to bolster your fleet and technology.

The game uses an ingenious system where each card represents both an unexplored location and the resources and benefits you can gain by exploring or colonizing it. By interacting with these cards, you enhance your dice manipulation skills and strengthen your civilization. The challenge escalates each time the deck runs out: a new era advances, bringing more dangerous foes. If you're not prepared, your empire could fall before it even has a chance to shine!

With a brisk playtime of 30 to 60 minutes, One Deck Galaxy is perfect for those who enjoy card games with a touch of deck-building and a healthy dose of space strategy. The 'move through deck' mechanic and resource management are crucial for success. It's a game that challenges you to think fast and work together (or solo!) to overcome cosmic threats. If you enjoy exploring the unknown and building something grand from scratch, this interstellar journey is for you!
