With its innovative 'follow' mechanic, high replayability, and premium components, it delivers an epic gaming experience in a compact, travel-friendly package perfect for millennials seeking engaging, screen-free social play. ## Description In Tiny Epic Galaxies each player controls a galactic empire, aiming to expand their influence by acquiring highly contested planets and increasing their cosmic armada. The game revolves around an innovative dice-rolling combo mechanic. The number of dice you roll is determined by the strength of your galaxy. Each die is engraved with symbols representing the various actions you can take, such as moving a spaceship, increasing your culture or energy resources, or advancing your political or economic influence over newly discovered planets. Through careful planning, you must make the most out of your turn, taking the available actions in whichever order you consider most beneficial. But be careful, as each of your opponents can choose to follow each action you take by expending valuable resources. This means that it can always be your turn, even when it is someone else’s turn! Players will colonize new planets throughout the game, thereby earning victory points and accumulating special abilities which they can activate for their galactic empire. Careful spending of resources will ensure the fastest growth of your empire, while allowing you to receive the biggest possible pay‐off from the actions you take. Will your influence be enough to control the most powerful planets in the galaxy? Will you be able to meet your secret objective along the way? Will your empire stand victorious? Review: All-time Favorite - This tiny game really packs a lot of action within it's small box! I was lured into buying this by the cute tiny wooden space ships and galaxy theme, but I discovered that it's actually such a fun and engaging game that I always reach for to play (both at home and when traveling). THE GAME: The game itself has so many different levels of strategy with each planet offering different abilities. However, there's also a lot of luck involved on what dice you roll and how you use those dice, and in what order. AND THE BEST PART - you can use your "culture" points to "copy" someone else's action. (Ha!) This mechanism keeps all the players engaged, even when it's not their turn, since they turn someone else's dice into their advantage. ALSO there's a solo version of this game built in, so you can play against the game itself when there is no one else to play with. "EASY" to Learn? There are some intricacies on how to use each dice and how best to strategize that make it the slightest bit confusing. The first game or two, I would often refer to the rulebook just to double-check. With that said, I was able to play this with my friend and her brilliant board-game-loving 5 year old (reading the cards out loud for him and listing out his options). He was able to grasp the strategy very well and he fell in love with the game! While this is "Travel-Sized" aka it fits in a pretty small box that can fit in your travel bag, the game itself is NOT one to play while in an airport or on-the-go. While you can use the box to roll the die in, the cards would need to be set-up ideally on a stable flat surface. With all of that said, I've now owned this game for several years and it became and remains one of my all-time favorites to play. I still feel like there's plenty of strategies to play out still with all the different elements in the game and I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys board games (especially if you like space themes)! Review: Tiny game, huge fun! - Tiny Epic Galaxies turned out to be the highlight of my Christmas this year. It's truly a masterfully designed game that packs loads of fun, strategy and resource management in a small, easy to learn package that's infinitely replayable. Though the package suggests 14 years and up I think younger children would have no difficulty grasping the rules here. With two people games can be as short as 15 minutes but they're intense and engaging. With more people the game is still only 30-45 minutes of hectic swindling. The "follow" mechanic means there's virtually no downtime between turns and really adds a risk/reward element to how you choose to spend your limited resources. The secret mission card also keeps the game exciting near the end as it can sometimes lead to come from behind victories. If that's not enough there's also an excellent single player version included. The content here is better than most full-sized board games yet it comes in a tiny package you can easily take anywhere. I'm in love with this one and already ordered the expansion to add even more to the game. ## Features - Tiny Epic Galaxies is a fun strategy space exploration game perfect for 1 to 5 players that is easy to learn and is popular with adults, kids, teens, families, and everyone - 2015 Award Winning Solo Game of the Year by BoardGameGeek Play against a rogue galaxy and hone your cognitive and strategic skills with family time away from a screen - The Tiny Epic Series is one of the best small box board game collections that captures an epic game experience in under an hour - Gamelyn Games takes pride in offering the highest quality components with beautiful artwork and gorgeous graphic design - Tiny Epic Galaxies is a dice-driven, empire-building game about planet acquisition, resource management, with an intense race to 21 points ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015QHVZCI | | Best Sellers Rank | #341,748 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #9,049 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,505) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 6.3 ounces | | Item model number | GLGTEG-03 | | Manufacturer | Gamelyn Games | | Manufacturer recommended age | 14 years and up | | Product Dimensions | 7.87 x 7.87 x 0.04 inches | | Release date | January 1, 2020 | ## Images ![Gamelyn Games Tiny Epic Galaxies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xZtmMNVZL.jpg) ![Gamelyn Games Tiny Epic Galaxies - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91nojGnEWmL.jpg) ![Gamelyn Games Tiny Epic Galaxies - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bF9W2KB-L.jpg) ![Gamelyn Games Tiny Epic Galaxies - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91iT1gj4xFL.jpg) ![Gamelyn Games Tiny Epic Galaxies - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1iXaDD4rFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All-time Favorite *by K***C on November 30, 2023* This tiny game really packs a lot of action within it's small box!

This game's MSRP is $25 and can be found elsewhere. *by A***T on July 23, 2017* FIRST OF ALL: I paid $20.00 for this game in June 2017, so don't pay these scalpers $40+ for this game. This game sells for $25 BRAND NEW in other stores online, so you'll have to do a quick Google search, but trust me -- they're there. Anyway... I bought this game to play as a solo game. Everything in the box comes in a bunch of small, resealable, clear plastic baggies, so everything is well organized and not bouncing around. Also, I sleeved all of my cards and they STILL fit in the box comfortably (i.e., I don't have to force the box to close), which is another plus for me because not many games fit all of their cards if you sleeve them. The pieces are high quality wooden pieces with nice paint jobs. As for the game itself? This is why I give it 5 stars for solo gameplay-- I bought this game because I wanted to buy something a little different than what I was used to. Space theme isn't something I'm really interested in, but the game had good reviews to be honest, so I gave it a shot. The truth is that I wasn't a huge fan of it to be honest, BUT I am giving this product a full 5 stars because, on top of what I said before, I felt the rulebook was very well laid out and easy to learn from. You can pick up this game in less than 20 minutes and it's quite challenging (at least in my experience). The size makes it ultra portable, too! Then there's lots of replayability. Lots of pluses here. So in my personal taste, no, I would not buy another game like this. I would give it a 2/5 stars in terms of how much I enjoyed it. BUT just because I didn't like it doesn't mean that it deserves 2/5 stars. I am considering the quality, learning curve, size, and ease of gameplay in my review, hence the 5 stars. I can't dock the rating just because it doesn't fit my personal style. *PHEW* All that said, you're really into space themed games (or interested in picking one up), this is probably a really, really good game to pick up. There is also an expansion pack that you may want to pick up which totally changes the gameplay, so consider that as well! ## Frequently Bought Together - Gamelyn Games Tiny Epic Galaxies - Gamelyn Game Tiny Epic Vikings Fast Playing 1-4 Players First Tri-Foldable Strategy War Board Games for Adult, Wooden Components, with Settlers, Boats, & Temples | Collect Rune Stone Secure Victory --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19514588-gamelyn-games-tiny-epic-galaxies](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19514588-gamelyn-games-tiny-epic-galaxies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
