Object of the Game

In Roll for the Galaxy, each player creates a galactic civilization by recruiting workers (represented by custom dice) to settle worlds and build developments (represented by game tiles), over several game rounds. …

Alien Archaeology: See the Alien explorer and symbols questions in the Development Powers section.

Alien Research Team: Draw its extra tile(s) after all players have done their tasks, before returning any abandoned tiles to end the phase. Also see the Alien explorer and symbols questions in the Development Powers section. …



Q: What is the difference between dice terms such as: workers, shippers, and goods?

A: Workers are dice in a player's cup, below a player's phase strip, or being used to select a phase. Dice that are unowned, in a player's Citizenry, or in Dictate areas are not workers.

Based on the phase they are assigned to, workers become explorers, developers, settlers, producers, or shippers. Producers put onto worlds become goods.

Q: Why do the Produce icons vary on differently colored dice?

A: This is an aid for color-blind players. …
