Stax: Galaxies (2025)

Outmaneuver your opponent in this quick-playing strategy card game for two players. Build fleets, place stations in orbit, and claim planets – but watch out for spies and black holes. The first player to claim five planets wins. Blast off with Stax: Galaxies and launch your fleet today! Stax is a robust and flexible game system for head-to-head duels that can be adapted to a variety of settings. (more versions coming soon!) As a highly portable small-box game with strategic depth, Stax: Galaxies is ideal for casual gamers or hobbyists looking for a fast and fun game to play during downtime or in between longer gaming sessions. At the beginning of the game, a set of cards are laid from the planets deck and then players compete to build stacks to claim the planets. A few tricky mechanics add to the challenge and the fun, such as the Spy, which can displace an opponent's claim. The simple rule set and strategic depth will keep players coming back for more, while making the game accessible to a wide range of age groups and skill levels. —description from the publisher
