Even in the Future of ‘Galactic Cruise’, Becoming CEO is All About Your Reputation
Design and build your own starfaring cruise liners and build your reputation as the best in the biz to become the next CEO of Galactic Cruise!
We’ve all dreamed of taking a cruise among the stars. But what’s even better than taking a cruise among the stars? Well, working on a cruise among the stars, obviously! Well, maybe not. But still in Galactic Cruise, you’re vying to become the next CEO of Galactic Cruise, the preeminent interstellar cruise line company.
Galactic Cruise Overview
Galactic Cruise is a competitive worker placement game where players are each working to design, build, sell seats on, and launch their own galactic cruiseliners. It’s up to each player to design which blueprints to use in order to build their ships to best suit the kind of customers they want most.
After the endgame is triggered, the players each count up their reputation points they earned from many various sources. The player with the most rep becomes the next CEO!
Throughout the game, players will be sending their workers out to perform various tasks. You know, like most worker placement games. The main driving point of the game is building and launching ships. Players will be gathering various blueprints for different types of cabins they can put on their ships. Each ship will be worth a certain number of points based on how many passengers it has. But each cabin is only suited to a certain type of customer. So it’s a careful balancing act of building the right cabins for the customers you know you can get.
But there are also several resources to manage, money, food, oxygen, and fuel. Managing your resources is vital for being able to launch your ships at all. There are also expert workers to consider something of a resource as well. Players can hire expert workers, which work more efficiently and offer additional bonuses. Additionally, players can build development between the various worker placement action slots to get additional options with each worker placed.
The point is, Galactic Cruise has a lot of spinning plates to consider at any one moment. But it balances it all very well. If you’re a fan of the sorts of games that give you that feeling of “oh, I need more of this, but I also need to do more of that, but I can only do 1 action this turn!’ then you might love Galactic Cruise.
