Excursions Board Game Preview | A New Galactic Cruise Game

Description provided by Tantrum House on YouTube:

Excursions is a new entry in the Galactic Cruise world, bringing players to the state-of-the-art Preston Space Station. As Cruise Directors, you'll plan specialized trips and excursions, upgrade your station, and launch ships on exciting journeys through space. In this video, Will and Sarah take a look at how Excursions plays, including its simultaneous action system, rotating action wheel, rocket launches, upgrades, and scoring. While the game shares some familiar elements with Galactic Cruise, Excursions offers a more streamlined experience that can be played in around 60 minutes. Excursions is designed by Ben Rosset with illustrations by Ian O'Toole and supports 1 to 6 players. This preview was filmed with a prototype, so some components and rules may change before the final version.
