When things don’t go as planned, and the teams are marooned on the wrong planet with none of their equipment and no way to call for help, the remaining survivors, an unlikely group of once-adversaries, must band together and hope they can survive long enough to win the games and make it home…

Reviews:

“All of their clothes, tents, etc look like they came off the shelf at the local Walmart and there’s no attempt to make the North Carolina oceanfront locations look alien […] But worst of all, Galaxy Games is just plain dull. The characters are annoying rather than sympathetic or even interesting…” 1.5 out of 5, Voices from the Balcony
