Hello, and welcome to Galactic Cruise. Here, we offer our guests something special: the comfort of a luxury cruise with the innovation of space travel. As the first company to offer extended-stay space vacations, we are excited to have you working for us! As a supervisor of this company, you’ll be expected to not only build these ships and satisfy our guests, but also to help the company thrive by enhancing our company network, inventing new technologies, and growing our workforce. We are a united company, and you’ll often find that what another supervisor does will make your job easier. Let me be clear, though, this is a competition. Our current CEO will be stepping down in three years, and the supervisor who comes out on top will take his place.
On your turn, you will either place a worker to take two actions in the ever-expanding network, launch a ship and send one of your workers to space as a pilot, or recall all your earthbound workers to collect funding bonuses. Actions include acquiring blueprints, constructing ships, attracting guests, and building developments–connections between locations that increase action selection throughout the game. You will also be affecting resource markets that ebb and flow with the actions of all the players.
When you launch a ship, one of your workers will accompany it as a pilot, navigating the ship to various destinations and “days in space,” where guests will reward you for all your hard work.
Throughout the game, you will also be competing with your fellow supervisors to complete company goals, which will earn you progress cubes throughout the game. Progress cubes are also placed when you launch ships, and when a certain number of cubes are placed onto the company’s progress track, the game ends, and the player with the most Victory Points becomes the new CEO of Galactic Cruise.
Do you still think you have what it takes to work for us? You do? Great. Let’s get started.
Expansion 1 - Advancements
As the company grows more industrious and innovative, life gets more interesting. Well-developed departments grow more prosperous, and oft-used technologies become increasingly efficient. Welcome to the age of Advancements!
The Advancements expansion for Galactic Cruise includes several modules, which may be played individually or in any combination with one another.
The Cabin-Matching module includes 48 blueprints, which will replace the ones included in the base game. Instead of having half-cabins in the middle of each segment, these blueprints have half-cabins in one of three places–left, center, or right–on their tops and bottoms. In order to build a segment into a shuttle, it must make a full cabin with other previously-installed segments.
The Advanced Technologies module introduces upgradeable versions of the technology tiles from the base game; each Technology now has a technology track along the bottom that determines the level of its ability. Each Technology starts with its ability being the same as in the base game, but can eventually become better.
The Advanced Locations module upgrades the locations throughout the game when a certain number of Developments have been built. When a location is upgraded, it grants bonuses to players based on how many Developments they've built adjacent to that location.
There are also new Agenda Cards, new Upgrade Tokens, a new Cockpit and Engine tile, and and 2 new Expert Worker Tiles. Go forth, you innovators, and advance!
Expansion 2 - Advancements
All we do, we do for the guests. The happiness of our guests is the lifeblood of our company, and we refuse to be outdone! By jump-starting our team’s work ethic and further innovating the aerial cruise ships, we will remind the world that Galactic Cruise is synonymous with Luxury-in-Space.
The Accommodations expansion for Galactic Cruise includes several modules, which may be played individually or in any combination with one another.
The Specialized Blueprint module includes 48 new segments that replace those found in the base game. These segments all feature a unique action or bonus. During a Day in Space, instead of gaining the Guest Bonuses like usual, you will instead send Guests to different segments on the ship that include their matching icon, and then carry out the action (and/or gain the bonus) listed on that segment.
The Starting Upgrades module includes 36 cards, all of which give players a starting upgrade and a token removed from their launch tower, jump-starting their game and providing asymmetry among the players from the very beginning.
The game also includes new Agenda Cards, new Upgrade Tokens, 2 New Expert Worker Tiles, and 2 new Technologies. Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go give some guests the best trip of their lives!
