In Roll for the Galaxy, each player creates a galactic civilization byrecruiting workers (represented by custom dice) to settle worlds and build developments (represented by game tiles), over several game rounds. Players start each round by secretly rolling their workers to see what their workers wish to do this round. Each player uses one worker to select one of the five possible phases, and then all players reveal their workers. All playerselected phases occur in numerical order. Workers that complete tasks go to their players Citizenry. After the phases, players manage their empires, spending Galactic Credits to recruit workers from their Citizenries back to their cups, to be rolled next round.

The player who best manages his workers to create the greatest space empire of worlds, developments, and victory point chips, wins.
