Age of Galaxy: Second Edition – 4X Sci-Fi Strategy Card Game by Portal Games | 1–4 Players | 45–60 Min

Age of Galaxy: Second Edition — a compact 4X sci-fi strategy card game

Command your civilization as you explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate. In under 60 minutes, chart a path from a fledgling colony to a resilient empire, guided by a branching tech tree and the ebb and flow of galactic encounters. This deluxe edition from Portal Games refines rules and components while introducing five fresh solo scenarios for players who want a solitary challenge.

Designed to deliver the depth of a sprawling space epic in a travel-friendly package, Age of Galaxy blends quick setup with meaningful decisions. You’ll juggle multiple goals across a dynamic board of action sites, with opportunities to form temporary alliances, leverage faction synergies, and push your empire toward a tailored victory path.

Key features that shape every session

• Epic 4X gameplay in a compact format designed for fast plays without sacrificing depth.
• 40 asymmetric factions open a wide field for experimentation and strategic variety with each session.
• Engaging technology development through 9 distinct upgrades that shape your empire’s strengths and direction.
• Solo mode with 5 scenarios that offer standalone challenges against adaptive gameplay experiences.

What makes the experience feel special

• Tactile components and premium printing create a premium, tangible feel during tense decision points.
• A compact footprint means easy setup and storage, letting you focus on strategy and interaction rather than logistics.

In practice, you’ll set up quickly, pick strategic factions, and steer your civilization toward your chosen path to victory. While outcomes depend on choices and player interactions, the design supports a range of viable strategies and memorable moments.
