The magic of Galaxy Trucker is watching players take their (usually) imperfect spacecraft out into the galaxy in the hopes that they can survive all of the things 8-12 mission cards can throw at them. You’ll only have a few minutes to put everything together in just the right way if you finish but then have parts that don’t legally connect to others, parts of your ship might fall off before you even leave the spaceport.Īnd in Galaxy Trucker, things will only get worse from there. While you are putting a ship together, a sand timer is slowly running down the clock. Sometimes, you’ll need junk pieces to help connect pods to engines to guns, especially in the bigger ships.

You’ll need engines for sure, plus cannons, shields, crew pods, battery pods and maybe even specialized alien crew members to make those guns and engines better. That’s because everyone builds their ships from face-down parts in a pile at the center of the table using just one hand, flipping over pieces to see how they will fit on their player board ship outline. Three rounds of Galaxy Trucker can be played by veterans in 30 minutes, easy. If you can make it back to your local spaceport, you’ll receive money for arriving first, selling goods, and having a handsome little spaceship. But the core of the game is quite simple: build a spaceship, then take that spaceship into the galaxy to pick up goods, save abandoned vessels, avoid pirates and other nefarious entities and hope for the best when meteor showers appear in your path. Galaxy Trucker has an easy concept with a lot of small/minor/fiddly rules. Race For the Right to Get Out Into the Galaxy It’s the same game, but with a slick new look, new rulebook (the designer and his rulebooks are legendary for their cynical snark and sense of humor in teaching each game), and better components, all in a package for under $30 MSRP. But it is a swift experience you could play this in 15-20 minutes, especially if you only do one or two rounds of the build a ship/hit the road cycle for each round.ĬGE acknowledged the legendary status of the original game by re-releasing Galaxy Trucker to modern audiences this fall.
I loved it, but I probably loved it because the AI was forgiving and no one else got to watch my garbage spaceships break apart and get sabotaged by pirates throughout each journey.

Galaxy Trucker was first released in 2007 the game is so tough to get to physical tables that my first experience with it was playing the app on an old Android tablet years ago. In the case of Mage Knight and Through the Ages, we just have to agree that a lot of the fun-or “fun” as the case may be-comes from a brutal teach and some brutal gameplay.

Everyone knows how hard a game Galaxy Trucker is to put on the table, and it’s been that way for years.ĭesigner Vlaada Chvátil has made, to many, some of the best games of all time: Mage Knight Board Game, Dungeon Petz, Through the Ages, and the Codenames series (such as XXL, Duet, etc.). And I’ll be honest: one of the quotes above is from someone who works for the game’s publisher, CGE ( Adrenaline, Letter Jam, Pulsar 2849). Look, Meeple Mountain has previously acknowledged that Galaxy Trucker IS brutal. That said, should you want a longer, more challenging experience, you can play a three-flight game known as the "Transgalactic Trek".“Yeah, it’s a tough one to get to the table.” 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. (Profit, yay!) Players earn credits by delivering goods, defeating pirates, having the best-looking ship, and reaching their destination before the others. 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. 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.
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. 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.
