Galaxy Trucker

Galaxy Trucker is a fun game of space trading played over three rounds. The first thing to do each round is build your spaceship, then you fly it. Construction is simple: just take a square tile and add it to the grid in front of you – provided the connectors match. You need engines, of course, lasers, shields, crew quarters and storage space. And you need to fit them together. First to complete their ship starts a timer, limiting the time available to other players to finish their ships.

Then the ships fly off, dealing with the hazards and opportunities provided by a set of cards – this involves lots of dice rolling. Players gain credits for goods they pick up plus bonuses for being the lead ship and having the ‘prettiest’ ship. Then they have to pay for any bits that fell off their ship (which happens all too often!). Most credits after three rounds wins. Good fun.

For 2-4 players, aged 10+, playing time 60 minutes: £30.00
