- Galactic Cruise
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — So, if you're the first player and you use this action, you have a cog connecting these two, you get this action, but you have the choice of getting this gray action instead of that one. And if you're not the first player and you have a cog connecting, you can take this white action instead of that white action.
- Engine Building — And much like Galactic Cruise, it has the development cogs. Um, so if you're the first player and you use this action, you have a cog connecting these two, you get this action, but you have the choice of getting this gray action instead of that one. And if you're not the first player and you have a cog connecting, you can take this white action instead of that white action.
- Set Collection — And then there's cogs that give you um that let you research technologies. We've also got the company goals. As soon as you satisfy company goal, you take one of these cubes and put it out there.

Quotes (from this video)
- 2026 is shaping up to be a disappointing year for new solo games, and really games in general, but that's a topic for another video.
- There simply weren't enough games that were clearly marked for sale that I was interested in in order to complete a top 10 list.
- I have to say light to medium-weight tile-laying games have become a really crowded genre.
- I'll be honest, I just do not care about this theme at all. This game would be so much higher on this list if it had a fun and engaging theme.
- I simply just cannot wait to get this one to the table.
- This is a Eurogame that both sounds and looks like a ton of fun. That's pretty unusual.
- And with a track record of these designers, I'm confident that this one is going to be one of the best games of the year.

Quotes (from this video)
- My number one in this video, meaning the one I am most excited about, is the impetus for this video.
- I like Legacy games as an experience.
- It's one of those things that I managed to get a sense of seeing the way things chain and interact with each other. But, I don't fully get a sense of it until it's on my table and I'm making those decisions and thinking through the actions.
- I've been pulled in more by games that are easier to table than games that are more complicated and possibly more rewarding.
- Single session does not a review make.
- This is my most anticipated Awaken Realms game, not even a question.
