Reception
Stewart Wieck reviewed Ruler of the Galactic Web in White Wolf #21 (June/July 1990), rating it a 3 out of 5 and stated that "Web is a good game with many fine qualities, but it's too frustrating for me to enjoy completely. If you like complexities and can handle the heartache, this is the game for you."[1]
