Blind Galaxy Quest Games

What is Galaxy Quest?


Galaxy Quest are games that, other than normal games have a goal to fulfill. Well, admittedly, other games have the goal to dominate the whole galaxy, but Quest games have others than that.

NameDescriptionBrief History
AshOne world in the galaxy houses a race named Pritmon. This race will defend itself, and end the galaxy in turn 50. Kill them before they kill you. Victors are who have a ship over their system when they have been bombed and lost their last ship.Except two cases, where a race attempted to kill another, this game was peaceful. In turn 40, at the big battle against Pritmon, three members of the six way alliance turned on two members. They won anyways - one race came off winner yet not traitor. I marked them below.
BashBe the first to settle on three home worlds!
CashBe the first one to have CAP at one system.Three different strategies emerged here: Annihilate all others, i.e. outgrow and outgun all others. Only go for DRIVE and after that, CAP. And a mixture of both. From outside I can tell that the mixture was the least efficient. The Annihilate strategy was nearly successful, if Nation_3 had taken one more turn to finish, they would have been wiped out. From what looked like a everyone for himself game, this galaxy developed a lot of diplomatic activity when the first annihilator ate one race after the other. Then, it was the defeated races (having the mixed tactics) offering others their CAP. It all landed finally on Nation_3's HW making them the winner.
DashBe the first one to settle a 600 LY distant world and hold it for three turns.Only two races were fast enough to get there at all before the game was over. Others got caught in politics, and started the game as if they had lots of time. The game ended with turn 26.
