Point Galaxy is a brisk, puzzle-forward card drafting game from AEG (Alderac Entertainment Group) where you pick two cards each turn to grow your own galaxy and chase the best scoring combos.
How do you play the game?
Set up a dynamic market grid, then on your turn take exactly two cards and add them to your personal galaxy. Build solar systems by placing planets into numeric sequences and stack up points by timing your picks and placements well. As you draft, you’ll also gain access to extra scoring opportunities through rockets and research-style bonuses that reward specific patterns and collections. After a short run of turns, the game ends and you score sequences, sets, and bonus conditions. With double-sided cards and a constantly changing market, every game asks you to adapt—sometimes grabbing what you need now, sometimes denying an opponent, and often planning several turns ahead.
