I just bought Galacticards and I'm really enjoying it.

What is the deck composition? I'm trying to find out things like how many military leaders are in the deck, what's the biggest colony size, how many colonies total are in the deck, etc.

If this is information I can find in one of the game files, I'm quite happy to look there.

Thanks,
Mark C.

Ack, I keep tring to get back to this question, but have not found the time to research the hard numbers. But essentially here uis the story:

The deck is infinite in size I believe. So there is no fixed number of a certain type of card, only probababilies. Those probabailities are what I don;t have on hand with me at the moment.

Thanks!

So this would mean that it's impossible to run out of a specific type of card? Some games I've noticed that "star" exploration cards run out, or "draft" cards seem really sparse, etc. But I guess it's human nature to find false patterns in randomness.

Good news.

Yes, you will never run out...


But it also means that some games, stars may be sparse as you said, I have played games where it has been really hard to find a good offense, others where it was hard to get a good planet. One set strategy does not always apply.
