Galactic Warlords: Battle for Dominion is a card-driven game of tactical deployment and planet control for 2-4 player. In this game, you play as one of the Warlords, with purpose to establish your dominion over the contested galactic region that was once known as the Preiakka Federation and gain the most Power at the end of the game, thus becoming the most powerful warlord the galaxy has ever seen.
The game is played over multiple rounds, each having 5 phases: Recall, Play a Mercenary, Action Phase, Recovery and Hire a Mercenary.
Recall:
In this phase, a player can "recall" his units from the board to his base, so he can use them later during his turn.
Play a Mercenary:
Here, the player can play one Mercenary card in his command area row on either side of the cards that are already there. After playing the card, the player gains the number of assets shown on the bottom left on the card (in most cases, Ground Troop units), and puts those assets in his base.
Skills and Guards:
If you match the skill color with the adjacent card, you may place a Guard from your base, which will protect the mercenaries beneath from assassination.
Other uses for the Guards:
Skill activation:
If you place a second Guard on a Skill circle of the same color, you may perform a bonus action depending on the color of the circles, such as Heavy Assault, Covert Ops, Call for Support and Orbital Bombardment.
Reinforcements:
If you are defending against an invasion, you may call upon reinforcements. Place a Guard from your command area onto the planet that is currently invaded, to increase your chance of defending that planet.
Action Phase:
Recovery:
Hire a Mercenary:
In the 4-player game, players will be able to play in teams of 2!

Risks and challenges
Galactic Warlords: Battle for Dominion is our second project, so we can safely say that we have gained experience regarding kickstarter with our first game Small Star Empires.
So, to decrease the chance for mistakes and delays, we have already done the following:
1. 90% of the assets are ready, and we will be finishing the other 10% which depend on some of the stretch goals during the campaign.
2. Arranged for a manufacturing timeline before the Kickstarter. We addressed every detail with our manufacturer, and they know exactly what needs to be done, plus they we are considering the stretch goals together as well.
3. Fulfillment is arranged with 4 fulfillment centers in US, Europe, Australia and Canada.
We are hoping to make a great second game for you and a successful and fun campaign! Of course, we would not be here if it weren't for you! Thank you for the great support you have given us!
