Hello, and welcome to Galactic Cruise. Here we offer our guests something special: the comfort of a luxury cruise combined with the innovation of space travel. As the first company to offer long-term space vacations, we are excited to have you join us! As a supervisor for this company, you will not only be expected to build these ships and delight our guests, but also to help grow the company by improving our network, developing new technologies, and expanding our workforce. We are a unified company, and you will often find that what another supervisor does makes your job easier. Let me be clear, though: this is a competition. Our current CEO is stepping down in three years, and the supervisor who has the most influence at the end will take his place.
On your turn, you will deploy a worker to perform two actions in the ever-expanding network, launching a ship and sending one of your workers into space as a pilot, or recalling all of your workers to Earth to collect funding bonuses. Actions include acquiring blueprints, building ships, attracting guests, and developing connections between locations that increase your choice of actions throughout the game. You will also influence the resource markets, which rise and fall based on the actions of all players.
When you launch a ship, one of your workers will join 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 compete with your fellow supervisors to achieve 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 have been placed on the company 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? Yes? Great. Let's get started.
