No Reference/Rules?

Posted on Thursday, August 22, 2019

I played Galactic Civilizations II years ago and just took the plunge into Galactic Civilizations III a few days ago.  I downloaded the game and promptly read the rule book - only to find a whole lot of the rule book no longer applies.  The Wiki for the game is woefully deficient and its really tedious to have to keep running internet searches every time I have a question or don't understand something.

Is there any single-source document that explains the game in it's current state?  It seems as if all that's out there is geared towards telling experienced players what has changed lately, but I can't find anything comprehensive for new players.  It's really taking all of the fun out of the game as I barely have enough time to play the game and spending a lot of that time researching rules and mechanics is sucking all the fun out of it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
