In Galaxy Trucker , two to four truckers simultaneously rummage through a shared warehouse and try to get the best components from which to build a spaceship - in real time!
After the ships launch, players repeatedly encounter dangerous situations as they compete for attractive offers - with each hoping to win the most valuable cargo and keep their ship intact as best they can. Of course, this is easier said than done, as many dangers hurl parts of ships, cargo and crews into the depths of space.
The goal is to survive the journey (hopefully with at least some of the crew and ship intact) and have at least one credit by the end of the game (a win, yay!). Players earn credits by delivering goods, defeating pirates, having the best looking ship, and reaching their destination before the others.

The first edition of Galaxy Trucker , released in 2007, was the very first game released under the Czech Games Edition brand. Since then, the crazy space game has received a spin-off as a digital app, four expansions, an anniversary edition and a novel by Jason A. Holt (who wrote the game instructions).
What's new with the Galaxy Trucker relaunch?

In addition, the cards have been better balanced with a few changes, there are more ship tiles and slicker markers for astronauts and aliens!
