About this board game

Wild Space is a tactical card game for 1–5 players, with plays lasting around 40 minutes. Command your spaceship into a newly discovered galaxy and explore its planets in search of treasures, mysteries, and the credits needed to become the wealthiest explorer.

Your main challenge is to build an effective Crew by adding cards to your collection. Hire Specialists and Robots, then attract Empire Emissaries who entrust you with missions worth Credits. The composition of your Crew matters throughout the game—and determines the Credits you can earn at the end.

Each turn presents a fresh choice between two simple options: add a new card to your Crew or draw new cards. When you play a card, its ability activates if your Crew fulfills the required condition. This makes every addition useful both for its immediate effect and for preparing stronger combinations later.

  • Explore planets in a newly discovered galaxy.
  • Build your Crew with Specialists and Robots.
  • Attract Empire Emissaries and complete missions for Credits.
  • Plan card placement and conditions to create efficient combos.

Successful play comes from learning when to expand your Crew and when to seek new opportunities. With careful planning, you can trigger several abilities and put multiple cards into play at once, turning a simple action into a powerful sequence.

Wild Space brings the excitement of combo-focused card games to short plays with accessible rules. Balance immediate abilities against future conditions, shape your Crew wisely, and claim your share of the wonders hidden in the galaxy.
