Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- converter action — Converter lets you turn a rolled die to any side by spending energy or culture, then the converter usage is tracked to prevent repeats that turn
- Dice Rolling — On your turn you roll a number of dice determined by your galaxy slider, then activate dice one by one, placing used dice in the leftmost empty activation space; you may reroll unactivated dice by spending energy
- end-game and tie-break rules — Game ends when a player reaches 21 or more points; tie-breakers involve colonized planets, galaxy level, total resources, and finally shared victory if still tied
- follow actions — Other players may follow an action by spending culture from their map and copying the action; followers resolve in clockwise order and only from yellow-bordered spots
- planet cards and victory points — Gained planets grant victory points and add new action areas under your mat; new planets are drawn when one is colonized; planets show their point value
- resource tracking and upgrades — Gaining energy or culture by spending dice, moving tokens on tracks; upgrading the galaxy level by spending resources to increase future dice, upgrade cost shown
- roll-and-activate dice — On your turn you roll a number of dice determined by your galaxy slider, then activate dice one by one, placing used dice in the leftmost empty activation space; you may reroll unactivated dice by spending energy
- ship movement and colonization — You move ships from your home galaxy to planets or orbit a planet; you can land on a planet surface or orbit; colonize by advancing on life/tech tracks and resolving planet abilities
