Transgalactica Game Review

“Whoa…this is the OPPOSITE of a big, dusty Euro.”

Two friends from my Wednesday gaming group were staring at the board for the new Daniele Tascini strategy game Transgalactica, published by my favorite publisher of the moment, Devir Games. One of those friends saw the game box resting nearby. “And gold foil on the box? NOICE!”

Tascini is best known for his “T” series of heavy strategy games, such as Teotihuacan: City of Gods, Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar, Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun, Tabunnusi: Builders of Ur and my favorite of the bunch, Tiletum.

The bland, beige look of Tiletum almost feels like the inspiration for the board layout of Transgalactica…which means that there is color, bright colors, almost everywhere you look with Transgalactica.

In most ways, Transgalactica is not a “T” game or a Tascini design…it’s an Edu Valls game, and I mean that as a very sincere compliment. Valls is the illustrator of record here and a bit like Rock Hard: 1977 stole the show for Devir’s 2024 productions, Transgalactica is very likely going to end the year as the best looking game I will get to the table. If not, it will definitely be my favorite illustration style for a strategy game this year, and I think we’ll start this review…
