PLAYED FOR YOU

Galaxy Trucker

Jubiläumsausgabe

You are a space adventurer and build a spaceship from recycled parts to travel to reach the Edge if the Universe for profit or losses. You start with the base of Ship 1, choose a face-down tile from stock, using one hand only, and add it to your ship or replace it face-up and choose a new one. You can put up to two tiles into temporary storage.  A part is integrated by placing it next to the base or another tile, adjacent edges must correspond; in the building phase you can also look at the Flight cards while constructing in order to equip the ship accordingly. Then eight cards are used to fly, they are stacked and then resolved in the resulting order, as a consequence it can happen that you might have to abort a flight. Each of those cards applies to all players and has either positive (commodities, credits) or negative (loss of ship parts, Aliens, enemies like Smugglers, Slave Traders. Pirates, Meteorites or comparison of space ship strengths) consequences. At the end of the flight commodities still on board are scored and you win credits for the best ship and your ship’s position. For lost ship parts or stored and unused ship parts you must pay penalties.

On Occasion of the 5 Year Anniversary of this cult game a huge box was published that includes the core game and all extensions that have been published so for, From The Big Expansion to Another Big Expansion To Rough Roads ahead and also a funny comic book; new cards allow for nasty play as well as for a balance between experienced space adventures and bloody beginners among the stars. Big like the galaxy, good like the universe, interstellar fun!
