Ready to put your skills to the test? Want to earn fabulous exclusive prizes? Now you can, in Galaxy’s new monthly tournament series!

Let’s break down the details about how these events are structured, their prizes, and how to qualify for an invite.

What are Monthly Tournaments?

Galaxy Monthlies are the first step in our official organized play program. They are progressive asynchronous events where Galaxy’s top players can prove their prowess and win prizes along the way. Scratch your competitive itch, plus all the scheduling flexibility our async mode affords.

The event’s strongest players will earn their place as Monthly Champions, along with an invite to the Seasonal Championship! We’ll release details for our larger organized play program down the road — for now, here’s how the first Galaxy Monthly will work in February.

Prizes

What is a tournament without awesome prizes? We’re excited to present several brand-new cosmetics, in addition to some amazing new Captain alternate arts and that elusive Seasonal Invite!

Cards for Laser Shark, Tribble Trouble, and Bahamut each show a stylized signature over their artwork.

Beautiful hand-drawn artwork is the heart and soul of Galaxy. Tournament competitors can earn new, exclusive artist-signed versions of their favorite cards!

Three Captain cards with tournament-themed alternate-artwork: The Candyman shows him kneeling down with his cookie swork, recieving a glowing pink crown; Lil' Genie sits inside a golden trophy; and the three Indiana Clones stand on a winners' podium, clutching Constellation Prize trophies.

Speaking of amazing artwork, check out these exclusive captain skins for tournament competitors!

Two Captain-card nameplates (without names), with flowing banners attached below them. One banner is red and more plainly styled, while the other is purple and ornately decorated.

Also introducing a brand-new cosmetic - specialty banners that can adorn ALL your captains, no matter who your favorite is!

Prize Breakdown

Each reward is unlocked the first time you beat its round across all your runs (we'll explain runs in a bit). The deeper you go, the more loot you walk away with!

A chart shows the prizes for each stage of the tournament as follows: Day One, Round 1 - alt-art Captain (Indiana Clones); Round 2 - artist-signed Common (Laser Shark); Round 3 - signed Uncommon (Mech-a-Man); Round 4 - signed Rare (Sunflare Glider); Round 5 - Victory banner and a Day Two Invite; Day Two, participant - alt-art Captain (Lil' Genie); Round 1 - signed Epic (Medusa); Round 2 - signed Legendary (Bahamut); Round 3 - signed Secret Rare (Tribble Trouble); Round 4 - signed Captain (Artemis); Round 5 - Champion banner, alt-art Captain (The Candyman), and a Seasonal Invite.

Successfully reach each progressive round to unlock that tournament prize.

Those special few who are able to win it all will be crowned Monthly Champions and will be granted an invite to the Seasonal Championship! As mentioned before, we’ll release more details on that soon.™

Event Structure

Two 5-section tracks show the required finishes for each round in Day One and Day Two. The tracks' requirements are identical: Round 1 - 5th or higher; Round 2 - 4th or higher; Round 3 - 3rd or higher; Round 4 - 2nd or higher; Round 5 - 1st place. Finishing Day One rewards a Day Two Invite. Finish Day Two to be a champion!

Monthlies take place over two stages: Day One and Day Two. Games are played in runs of five progressive rounds. Each round has a minimum finish to move on, the run ends if you place below its requirement. The stakes get higher each round as better finishes are needed to advance!

Players may earn multiple Day One Invites, each granting another attempt at a Day One run (more info on how to earn them in a bit). Complete all five rounds to earn your invite for Day Two!

*Note: players may only earn one Day Two Invite - once qualified, Day One is complete.

On Day Two the gauntlet resets. You get one shot to make it as far as you can and earn your chance at glory!

Event Schedule

The first Galaxy Monthly will take place in February. Day One of this event starts on Friday, February 20th and runs throughout Saturday, February 21. During this window a special "Tournament Mode" will open in the app and you must complete your runs within this time. The game will track your progress and show details like time remaining for Day One.

Anyone who progresses to Day Two will play their run on Sunday, February 22.

Because Monthlies are asynchronous tournaments, you’ll be able play your games any time during the tournament windows. Whether you prefer to blast through your runs or take time to settle nerves between games, do whatever works best for you!

How To Qualify

Monthlies are open to all Legendary-ranked players from the previous month (i.e. you qualify for the February Monthly in January).

These events are free to enter, and multiple Day One Invites can be earned:

Everyone who makes Legendary during the qualifying period (the previous month) will receive 2 Invites.
Receive an additional Invite at 100 Jewels earned in Legendary.
Receive a final Invite at 500 Jewels earned in Legendary.

Recapping from earlier, each Invite grants entry into a run for Day One of the tournament, giving you multiple chances to win!

That wraps our announcement for today, and we hope you’re as excited for Galaxy Monthlies as we are. These are only the beginning - many more events are on the horizon, including $5,000 cash tournaments launching later next year!

We wish you well on your January journey to Legendary, and we eagerly look forward to many of you experiencing the February Monthly!
