Galactic Destiny is a strategy board game not unlike others made popular in recent years. However, the emphasis of Galactic Destiny is on the political struggle between the six ruling ideologies of the universe.

Each player represents a Party. Every Party has members from all races of the Republic; the goal of the game is to sway the galaxy to your views. The main way to do this is by winning all the Ministerial seats in the Election. Another way is by brute, military force.

Six Party cards outline the Turn Sequence, Prosecution process (for corrupt Senators who deserve fines or execution), and tracks for Influence points and Money. There is also a description of the Party's ideology.



But as the players race to gain sway and dominate the minds of the voters, the Infesting demons, the Ke'Ras work their subtle evils to possess the souls of every being in the Republic. You must win against each other, but also against evil itself.

The classic black box of Galactic Destiny contains four 50 card decks.

The Sector cards describe the planets in each political arena, the races that naturally dominate and the ideologies that hold sway. Using these natural tendencies in the strategy war and politics is important.

The Event cards contain very little repetition, and so with each turn three unique events make the game play changeable and filled with surprises. Who has the advantage can change at any moment.

The Senator deck shows the wonderful illustrations of Marcel Chenier (www.marcelchenier.com). The six dominant races of the Galaxy - the Ajira, Humans, Jur, Qera, Shorem and Tumba - have a wide variety of strengths, from the newly elected politician to the long-lived immortals of galactic fame. Special abilities, political tendencies and racial benefits encourage strategic choosing in Senator recruitment, as well as trading with other players' Parties.

Action cards feature the many choices a player can make to gain advantage, facilitate combat or undermine his or her enemy. We did our best to include Actions that are fun and significant to maintaining a fast-paced strategy game.
