About Once Upon a Galaxy
Once Upon a Galaxy is a fast-paced card battler where you lead a crew of characters from myth and fairytale lore. Recruit characters, cast spells and collect treasures as you prepare for battles against other captains. Position your cards and plan your turn, then watch your crew fight automatically.
Choose a captain
At the start of each game, you select a Captain with a unique effect. Dorothy helps complete her friends’ quests, Dragonmother reveals what hatches from her Mysterious Egg, Indiana Clones can clone your best three treasures, and Geppetto leads a troupe of toys. Each Captain also has a personal collection of elite characters: choose 12 before a game, and they are mixed into your card pool as possible draws.
Build your crew
Recruit characters and cast spells each round to prepare for the next challenge. You can upgrade your crew during a game: copies of characters grant bonuses and discover treasures, while board enhancements preserve buffs as you replace characters. The most powerful cards appear later in a game, and finding a Legendary crew can help you become the last captain standing.
Crew strength comes from combining character abilities, treasure effects and faction synergies. Dragons focus on treasures, Mages enhance spells, and Toys summon additional characters during the fight.
Battle other captains
Matchmaking and asynchronous multiplayer let you face boards created by other players in earlier games, without timers. When you finish a run, your board joins the pool of opponents for others to challenge. You can also play with friends in live lobbies for up to six players.
