One Deck Galaxy

I really enjoy the game. I am happy to see a digital version. The game has a good tutorial to learn how to play along music that fits the gameplay. I recommend this game and One Deck Dungeon for card gamers.

Got this to make sure I was playing the physical game correctly, and thankfully I did because there were things that I had misunderstood.

There's a TON going on in this game and I found it difficult to follow what I should do in any given situation. The tutorial/rules were helpful, but only to a point. There were several times in the game when I was presented with a mechanic, but could not figure out how to implement the mechanic. In addition, outside of one or two of the race/society combos, many of the achievements required to progress your civilization are nearly impossible within the context of the game.

There is more complexity with this game; therefore, the learning curve is noticeably higher compared to the first game.

Once you learn all the mechanics, this game is actually easier to play in the sense that there are more options to utilize if you roll a bunch of 1s and 2s. In One Deck Dungeon, rolling low values basically limited the player and usually led to an early death; however, in One Deck Galaxy, there are additional mechanics that allow you to use those low value dice in other ways such as launching a probe or studying a location to increase the science value of the starbase. The only real negative, in my opinion, is the low number of options when choosing your character/occupation an...
