Pinpoint Galaxy: The Gamble That Split a Civilization

One reckless decision turned an entire galaxy into a never-ending risk assessment.

Pinpoint Galaxy is still paying for one bad decision. A high-stakes experiment shattered everything, splitting the survivors into two factions: those who chase the next big breakthrough, and those who refuse to make another move without a committee to overanalyze it first. The result? A galaxy permanently caught between reckless ambition and strategic paralysis, where the only thing stronger than the divide is the need to prove the other side wrong.

The risk-takers build empires overnight, betting on unstable tech and ideas that sometimes combust before launch. The overthinkers hoard resources, debating variables until the opportunities expire. Neither side wins outright, but neither loses badly enough to quit. Meanwhile, Hungary takes the worst of both—chefs gamble with ingredients that might attack them, foodfolk fall in love knowing one of them might spoil before dessert, and the Cornucopia Museum spins nostalgia so convincing that visitors swear they remember eating meals that never existed. Every moment is a wager, and every choice comes with consequences that linger longer than the taste.

The Friendly Robot Travel Agency books passage to Hungary, where every bite is a risk and the past is up for debate. You’ll place your bets whether you mean to or not, and by the time you realize the stakes, you’ll already be on the menu.
