Description
From the team that brought you the smash hit card games Point Salad and Point City, Point Galaxy is a fast and fun card-drafting sequence-building game for the whole family!
Rules are simple: Take any two cards from the dynamic market and add them to your expanding galaxy. As you place cards, create solar systems by arranging planets in numeric order and earn bonuses by collecting suns, asteroids, moons, rockets, and research projects to score the most points!
There are over 140 unique double-sided planet/space cards, so you can create a completely different galaxy each and every time you play!
Point Galaxy takes the same simple concept of drafting cards and building the best combinations, and adds new layers of sequence building, set collection, and racing towards objectives to the mix - making the game easy to learn, but challenging for everyone!
