Galileo Galilei
In Galileo Galilei, players become seventeenth-century astronomers navigating the challenges of discovery during a time of both scientific progress and religious scrutiny. Using a central telescope mechanism, you rotate its lens to determine two available actions each turn, combining a fixed choice with one that evolves through action tiles. As the game progresses, these actions can be upgraded, creating increasingly powerful combinations.
Your goal is to make meaningful discoveries by collecting lenses of different colours, charting new planets, and mapping unknown star systems. These resources are used to record scientific breakthroughs, but players must remain cautious: the Inquisition may intervene, threatening fame and progress. Skilled use of timing and resources allows players to either withstand or even benefit from these intrusions.
The game features richly illustrated cards, sturdy components, and clear iconography that supports smooth play. Its structure offers a balance of accessible rules and strategic depth, where each decision contributes to building an effective engine and advancing your reputation as a pioneering astronomer.
