Monetization

Our core philosophy for Galaxy is to create a game that is incredibly fun for both new players and experienced players alike, that can also be enjoyed for years to come. With that in mind, here are our core beliefs when it comes to monetizing the game:

• The core game loop is free. You should not have to spend money to simply enjoy drafting cards and slamming them into one another.
• Some game pieces (cards) can be paid, but they become free for everyone after 2 months.
• Cosmetic-only upgrades can remain paid.

Galaxy Pass

• The primary way to support the game is the monthly Galaxy Pass which provides immediate access to a new premium captain, multiple premium cosmetics, and a large number of bonus card unlocks.

Premium Captains

• New premium captains are introduced into the game each month. These are generally released throughout the month, and are available to purchase with gems.
• All premium captains (including the Galaxy Pass captain) become free after two months.
• If purchased with gems, the captains will also come with their 12-card starter deck unlocked.

Theme Decks

• Pre-designed theme decks for each captain are available for gems to help new players access new cards more quickly.
• The cost of a theme deck is automatically reduced based on cards that you already own (if you own all 12 already, it will be free).
• Purchasing the theme deck immediately unlocks all its cards for that captain.

Infinity Tokens

• Infinity Tokens provide a way to unlock all cards for a captain forever - including new cards in future sets. Infinity Tokens are purchasable with gems, though they may occassionally be obtained other ways, such as Galaxy Pass unlocks and event rewards.

Premium Cosmetics

• Some captains have a premium "costumes", including alternate-artworks or variants that changes the original art’s look.
• Captain costumes do not alter its gameplay.
• When selecting a captain before the start of the game, a cosmetics-selector lets you customize your captain’s art and other cosmetics.

Set Rerolls

• Set Rerolls are a premium upgrade to the captains select options before gameplay begins. Each set has a Reroll.

Ways to earn Gems

• Purchasing from the in-game store.
• Claiming free inside of each newsletter issue.
• Watching streamers/YouTubers for regular giveaways.
• With each card unlock reward after collecting every card in the game.
