Objective

Tiny Epic Galaxies is a strategic card game where players aim to collect gems and complete contracts to score points. The main objective is to have the most points at the end of the game.

Components

• A deck of gem cards in various colors
• Contract cards that score points when specific conditions are met

1. Collect Gems

2. Exchange Gems

• Trade gem cards with those of another player or with the supply in the center of the table.

3. Complete a Contract
