About the game

What you do in a play session

In Tiny Epic Galaxies, each player takes control of a galactic empire, aiming to expand their influence across the cosmos! The goal is to acquire contested planets and boost your stellar fleet. The heart of the game is a super clever dice-rolling system, where the number of dice you roll depends on the strength of your empire. Each die features symbols representing different actions: moving spaceships, generating culture or energy, or advancing your political/economic influence over newly discovered planets.

The key is to plan carefully to get the most out of your turn, choosing the order of actions that benefits you most. But watch out: your opponents can 'follow' your actions by spending valuable resources! This means that at any moment, even on someone else's turn, you could be taking action! Throughout the game, you'll colonize planets, earning victory points and unlocking special abilities for your empire. Wisely managing your resources is the secret to rapid growth and reaping the biggest rewards from your moves. Will your influence be enough to control the most powerful planets in the galaxy? And will you manage to fulfill your secret objective along the way? Prepare for an epic space adventure!
