Sharp and competitive β€” the follow mechanic keeps every action under scrutiny, so turns feel like a constant tug-of-war for position.

About this game

Transgalactica sends fleets from across the galaxy racing for influence under the new Transgalactica Decree. You build a commercial network, upgrade your fleet's tech and military standing, and jockey for a seat in the Galactic Senate over five tense rounds. It's a worker-placement engine-builder with unusually tight player interaction.
