In Tiny Epic Galaxies, each player controls their very own galaxy! From which they will develop their empire by managing resources, expanding their fleet, colonizing planets, and exploiting their enemies' position.

The game runs on a clever dice combo-ing mechanic; players roll for their actions and choose the order in which to take them. This can lead to big "pay-off" turns, especially when combo-ed with planet abilities!

Throughout the game, players spend resources to upgrade their empires, re-roll unwanted dice, and even follow the actions of other players' dice!

Players will accumulate power (victory points) based on the level of their empire, as well as for successfully colonizing planets. When a player has reached a power of 21 or higher, the end of the game is triggered.

Worried that rolling dice may lead to too much luck!? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are 5 mechanics we have in place to mitigate the luck element:

Free reroll of as many unlocked dice as you'd like, once per turn.

Energy (spend 1 to reroll as many unlocked dice as you'd like, as many times as you can pay for).

Culture (spend 1 to use to take an action off-turn of another player's locked in dice rolls, so you don't have to bank on your own luck alone).

Converter (as described above)

Planet Abilities (provides all sorts of good things, like resources, planet influence, empire upgrades etc. all the things that you would want from your dice).

The dice in Tiny Epic Galaxies bring excitement to the game, not lack of meaningful decisions.

Your Very Own Galaxy Card!

Blue Player has 3 Energy, 6 Culture, and a level 4 Empire; granting access to 3 Rocket Ships and 6 Dice. Blue Player has a total of 8 Victory Points, 5 from colonized planets and 3 from his/her Empire Level.

The Control Card and the Dice

A level 1 Empire starts with 4 dice. You get 1 free re-roll (as many dice as you'd like) every turn. Still don't like your roll? Spend Energy; 1 Energy for each additional re-roll.

Planet Cards - Acquiring & Conquering

Acquiring Resources is based on what kind of Planet Cards your Ships are on. The Blue Player has a Ship on both an Energy Planet Card and a Culture Planet Card.

It is important to know that this game is going to be amazing just upon hitting the funding goal! I'm dedicated to always publishing top notch games with top notch components.

BUT, and this is where things can get really exciting, with each and every stretch goal, the game will get better and better!

Now here is where YOU come in:

The most effective way to assure we reach these upgrades is to share this project on your social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest, blogs, etc. Share this project with EVERYONE!!

I'll admit, I'm particularly weak in the Reddit area and would love some extra help there!

Telling your friends, family, and gaming communities to jump in on this great game will in turn, make everyone's game better!

Pack your bags!

Prior to launching on Kickstarter, I brought Tiny Epic Galaxies to several major conventions (Gen Con, Essen, BGG.CON), and smaller ones, and played it with dang near every person I saw. Everyone who'd played it, raved about it!

The BGG page for Tiny Epic Galaxies has over 45,000 page views already!! That's INSANE for a game that JUST hit Kickstarter.

Additionally, we sent out over 50 prototypes of Tiny Epic Galaxies. Some to established reviewers and some to gamers who just like to play and talk about awesome games.

Tiny Epic Galaxies has already been played all over the world and it is being called the best game of the Tiny Epic series so far!

I encourage you to read these reviews and see just what people are raving about!

Second to backing the project, the best thing you can do to help Tiny Epic Galaxies succeed is to spread the word on your social media sites. Here are some fun social media avatars you can use to help with that:

All rewards for this project will be shipped from the US.

Delivering Your Reward

My number one goal, and responsibility, is to deliver the rewards that you pledge for. I'm proud to say that I have achieved this with every project that I have run, but not without learning from mistakes.

I was burned on unexpected increases to shipping costs with Tiny Epic Defenders, and quickly learned that I have to be more responsible in accounting for that risk.

To do this, I must adjust my shipping discounts. Shipping is a volatile cost that I cannot undermine. I simply cannot commit to shipping methods or discounts that would price me out of fulfilling my responsibility and promise to you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Shipping Costs

Every backer is important to me, regardless of location, there are just certain realities in shipping costs that we all have to face. To offset this, while remaining fiscally responsible, I have included a small discount for ALL shipping, but US shipping is not free. Shipping discounts, as well as game discounts, get even deeper at higher quantity packs, making 6 and 10 packs great group pledges!

Regarding customs; because this game comes in a tiny box with a low declaration, most international backers, of 1 or 2 copies, should not get hit with customs or import fees. We shipped thousands of copies of Tiny Epic Kingdoms to international backers and I've only heard of a couple of incidents where a backer (of 1 or 2 copies) was hit with any sort of fees.

Also please keep this in mind; the base game will retail with a $25 MSRP. So international backers who get the base game ($16 for the game + $12 for international shipping) are only paying $3 more than a future gamer who picks the game up off the shelf in the US! AND, if you are getting the deluxe version, you're getting an even better deal! The total cost (not including effort) to acquire and "assemble" a deluxe copy after the Kickstarter will be at least $35 BEFORE shipping. I say assemble because you will not be able to buy it all in one place, you'll have to pay for shipping twice. This is assuming that the BGG store picks up the deluxe content, which they have not committed to at this time.

"Tiny Epic" is a series of games designed by Scott Almes and published by Gamelyn Games. Each game in this series must strictly adhere to TWO core values: Tiny and Epic! Tiny meaning small (pocket-sized) box with simple and easy to understand rules. Epic meaning gratifying gameplay with lots of strategy and replay-ability. Over the course of numerous games, the series will explore many unique genres and themes.

Currently the line features a 4X/Civ game called Tiny Epic Kingdoms and a cooperative Tower Defense game called Tiny Epic Defenders.

Tiny Epic Galaxies, a dice driven/engine building game is the third installment in the smash-hit-series!

The "Tiny Epic" series began at exactly this time LAST year with its flagship game Tiny Epic Kingdoms! Which has since been fulfilled and backers are LOVING IT!!

The second game in the series is a thematic sequel to Tiny Epic Kingdoms called Tiny Epic Defenders.
