Galaxy Trucker 2nd Edition
In the fast and goofy family game Galaxy Trucker; players begin by simultaneously rummaging through the common warehouse; frantically trying to grab the most useful component tiles to build their spaceship — all in real-time.
Once the ships are launched; players encounter dangerous situations while vying for financial opportunities; each hoping to gain the most valuable cargo and finish with as much of their ship still intact as possible. Of course; that's easier said than done since many hazards will send pieces of your ship; your cargo; and your crew hurling into the depths of space.
The goal is to survive the trek — hopefully with at least some of your crew and ship intact — and have at least one credit by the end of the game. (Profit; yay!) Players earn credits by delivering goods; defeating pirates; having the best-looking ship; and reaching their destination before the others.
This version of Galaxy Trucker is a relaunch of the original 2007 release by Vlaada Chvátil that features new art; more ship tiles; tweaked card effects; and streamlined gameplay that consists of only a single flight through space. That said; should you want a longer; more challenging experience; you can play a three-flight game known as the Transgalactic Trek.
