Tiny Epic Galaxies: Beyond the Black — Prices

Ever felt like the map has become too small for your ambitions? In Tiny Epic Galaxies: Beyond the Black, that's exactly the point. You've already dominated known space, but now it's time to stare into the absolute void and ask: 'What's out there?'. This expansion pushes the galactic frontier and adds extra layers of strategy for those who already enjoy the base game.

The big highlight here is the ship upgrades and the arrival of pilots. You can now evolve your original ships into more powerful versions, but to do so, you'll need professionals. There are various pilots available, each with a unique special ability. The trick is that hiring a pilot specialized in the right ship reduces their cost. However, be careful: versatile pilots (those trained for multiple ships) tend to have weaker abilities. It's the classic balance between specialization and versatility.

If you love that adrenaline rush, the expansion introduces deep space exploration. It's a pure 'press-your-luck' mechanic: you might discover valuable dwarf planets and rare materials that grant precious resources, or you might run straight into a supernova or a black hole that wrecks your plans. This journey earns you exploration badges which, at the end of the game, grant bonus victory points to the leader of each badge type.

To round out the package, Beyond the Black also adds new planets and exciting secret missions, providing more variety to each session and forcing players to adapt their tactics. It's the perfect dose of extra complexity for those who want to turn their tiny galaxy into a truly vast intergalactic empire, all while maintaining the agility and speed that the Tiny Epic line is known for.
