Galactic Cruise is a worker placement game that involves tableau building, multi-use cards, and resource management where players take on the role of high level supervisors of Galactic Cruise, the first company to offer extended-stay space vacations.

The current CEO of the company is retiring, and one of the supervisors will take his place.

In order to clinch the position, you'll need to not only build shuttles and satisfy the guests as you schedule and pilot cruises on luxurious space vacations, but also to help the company thrive by enhancing the company network, inventing new technologies, and growing the workforce.

On your turn, you will either place a worker to take two actions in the ever-expanding network, launch a ship and send one of your workers to space as a pilot, or recall all your earthbound workers to collect funding bonuses.

Actions include acquiring blueprints, constructing ships, attracting guests, and building developments–connections between locations that increase action selection throughout the game. You will also be affecting resource markets that ebb and flow with the actions of all the players.

When you launch a ship, one of your workers will accompany it as a pilot, navigating the ship to various destinations and “days in space,” where guests will reward you for all your hard work.

Throughout the game, you will also be competing with your fellow supervisors to complete company goals, which will earn you progress cubes throughout the game.

Progress cubes are also placed when you launch ships, and when a certain number of cubes are placed onto the company’s progress track, the game ends, and the player with the most Victory Points becomes the new CEO of Galactic Cruise.
