What to Expect

In Take The Galaxy, you lead a pioneering faction exploring a new galaxy through a wormhole. You colonize systems, research anomalies, and respond to galactic events. Strategic choices about mining, science, or other tactics shape your path to renown. You can control only four systems at a time, requiring careful planning. The highest scorer after exploration wins.

How It Works
