Another of the classic Euro-style games published in the mid-70's by Gamut of Games. The Second Edition lists Sid Sackson as a creative consultant to Phil Orbanes, author of Cartel and Trumpet. A unique board, showing four arms of a galaxy spiraling out from an infinity center (which is the end of game mechanism), plus 144 miniature full color tiles for space, life and time. The second edition included a long box and a "simulated leather bound" 1-piece bi-fold game board. Each player collects tiles and builds planets and moons, then a full civilization in miniature full color tiles along his/her arm of the galaxy. Playing more tiles from the hand earns scoring points. Black Holes and Disasters to thwart opponents, and a unique tile-drawing mechanism for building your universe are also featured.
