PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Galaxy Trucker

Brandneue Modelle

 

You are a galaxy trucker and you build a spaceship to reach the Edge, for profit or loss. You choose face-down parts to add to your ship or for interim storage and can check the stack of flight cards for suitable constructions. To fly you assemble and implement eight cards, abortion of a flight can happen.

Brandneue Modelle / Latest Models expands Galaxy Trucker, featuring new ship classes which are compatible in any way with both of the "Big" Expansions and need the basic game to play. Classes IC and IIC result in contortions of the space-time-continuum, Class IIIC is intended for imprisoned space princesses and IVC could be a luxurious space yacht if you could lay your hands on the plans. Those new ships do not have a marked space for the basic starting tile; the tile is placed in the storage area at the start of the game and treated like any other part there.

In Classes IC and IIC connections across the trans-dimensional construction gap must fit each other exactly. Due to the spherical shape of Class IIIC you must, when adding steering jets or cannons on edge squares, leave empty the corresponding squares on the opposite edge. Such ships also must be insured, you pay for weak spaces, that is, connected empty squares in the ship; when Class IIIC is attacked you roll dice for the spot that this attacked. Class IV is composed of four individual ships, which can be worked on simultaneously and which can also be insured.

Latest Models offers many new possibilities as well as witty allusions to famous space adventures, it is a must-have challenge for experienced ship constructors.
