Gal Civ hides most of the rules, you do not even have access to a tech tree or a description of what you are researching currently. This way, it tries to appear to be exciting and challenging. Also, the interface makes it difficult if not impossible to retrieve useful informations or to get an overview to make proper decisions based on the strategical situation. But all rules and all informations given, it will probably be pretty boring.
I do not like these kind of games where you make lucky guesses about what will happen if you do this or that instead of thinking about strategical decisions. Things like these anomalies are typical for this game - I prefer Space Empires without ruins, for example. A nice game of luck and chance if you like this genre, making it easy for the AI, but not comparable to space empires in any way.
