Roll for the Galaxy

Roll for the Galaxy is a science fiction strategy game for two to five players designed by Thomas Lehmann and Wei-Hwa Huang and dated to 2014 by the Board Game Matcher listing. It is a dice version of Race for the Galaxy: where that game has players play cards at once, here each player secretly assigns dice to roles such as exploring, developing and settling, then reveals the choices together. The page files it under civilization, dice, economic, science fiction and space exploration categories, with dice rolling and worker placement using dice as workers. The description says it turns the card-drafting speed of its predecessor into a dice-allocation puzzle, and that games finish in under an hour, which the listing puts at about forty-five minutes.
