"Full disclosure: I have never played a game produced by the Game Crafter until now. For the uninitiated, the Game Crafter is a print-on-demand game publishing company i.e., they will produce whatever game designers send them, for a fee, without questioning game quality. Their components have a solid reputation, but as for the games themselves, well, there's always a chance you find a gem, akin to Andy Weir's self-published novel The Martian. Or you might be disappointed by a mess that clearly needed further playtesting."
"A game of Galactic Duel starts with 10 planets laid out, each with a specific power and point value. Each player takes 12 astronauts in their color. On their turn, a player will Place one of their astronauts on a planet If able, activate a power on a single planet where they currently have majority presence Once both players have placed all their astronauts, the game ends. Determine majority on each planet and award points accordingly. Highest score wins."
Galactic Duel is a two-player area control game that plays in 10–20 minutes and uses ten planets with distinct powers and point values. Each player receives twelve astronauts and alternately places one astronaut per turn, and may activate a planet power on a planet where they hold majority. Play ends after all astronauts are placed, then majority on each planet determines points and the highest score wins. Majorities are fragile because single astronauts can hold planets, allowing immediate swings and single placements to overturn opponents. Some planet powers can swap astronaut positions, creating tactical reversals.
