Read the full game description
Transgalactica is an interactive worker-placement and engine-building game about fleets answering the Galactic Senate’s decree to expand beyond known space. A captain activates a powerful operation on its owner’s panel, then rival crews may follow the same action without the bonus. Across five rounds, players explore, trade, mine, complete missions, advance military and technology tracks, and seek political leverage in the Senate. Every action invites opponents to benefit, so timing and denying the best follow opportunities are central to building the most influential fleet.
