Galaktico (2009)

About this game

A game of tactical space combat. Equip your spaceships with weapons and shielding and fight for dominion in this edge of the galaxy. Use the special abilities of your space ships to your advantage, fly through hyperspace, destroy an opponent's space station or capture his destroyers. Every game will be different, because of the enormous possibilty of combining your equipment. The proper use of the movement mechanism of hyperspace jumps is the key to victory.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 3.
• Rules load. At 2.9/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
