How to play

Your turn: roll as many dice as your empire level shows (4 to 7). Use them in any order — tap a die, then follow the prompt. You don't have to use them all. Reroll any unused dice: the first reroll each turn is free, then 1 ⚡ each. The Converter (once a turn): give up two dice to set a third to any face.

🚀 Move a ship to another planet: land on its surface (and use its action at once) or orbit it (onto the start of its colony track). One of your ships per surface and per track; you must change planets; you may fly home. ⚡ / 🏛 Acquire 1 for each of your ships on or orbiting a planet of that kind (and ⚡ for each ship at home). 🕊 Diplomacy / 📈 Economy advance a ship one space on a track ending with that symbol. Pass the last space to colonize the planet: everyone's ships on it go home and you score its points. 🏙 Utilize a colony: upgrade your empire (pay the next level's number in ⚡ or 🏛) or use one of your planets' actions.

Following: when someone uses a die, everyone else may pay 1 🏛 to do the same action themselves.

The end: when someone reaches 21 points, the round is finished so everyone has had the same number of turns. Secret missions are revealed and scored. Ties: most planets, then highest empire, then most resources.

Solo: the Rogue Galaxy rolls one die at a time. Pay 1 ⚡ + 1 🏛 to make it reroll a die it could use; you may follow its actions for 1 🏛. It wins at 21 points or when its empire reaches the skull; you win at 21.

Satellites & Super Weapons: reaching empire level 2, 4 and 6 puts one of your satellites on a planet; colonizing that planet brings it home (1 point each at the end). Use a Super Weapon's power by giving it one of your satellites; destroy it by flying a ship onto its 2-space track (2 points, and ⚡ for each satellite on it).

Tiny Epic Galaxies is by Scott Almes (Gamelyn Games). Card facts from the print-and-play; all drawings here are our own. Our readings: a ship can't go below the start of a track; "steal resources of your choice" from the Rogue takes from whichever you have more of; Terra-Bettia advances each other player's ship nearest to colonizing.
