Space Junkyard

About this board game

Space Junkyard is a 2009 board game for 2–4 players, with play taking about 30 minutes. In a future where space has become a giant dumping ground, clever star pilots search the debris for useful materials and ship components.

Players navigate through a sea of asteroids and recyclable parts, collecting resources and salvaged ship modules along the way. Every recovered component offers a way to expand a tiny vessel as pilots work toward a more substantial and complete starship.

The central goal is clear: build the largest and most complete starship. Space Junkyard turns derelict spacecraft and discarded components into opportunities, placing pilots in a junk-filled environment where careful navigation and clever decisions can help transform scattered salvage into a finished vessel.

• Supports 2–4 players
• Approximately 30 minutes of play
• Navigate asteroids and recyclable space debris
• Collect resources and salvaged ship modules
• Work toward the largest and most complete starship

Rather than treating the abandoned remains of space travel as worthless, the game presents them as a vast supply of possibilities. Pilots must make the most of the components they encounter while expanding their ships piece by piece.

For players drawn to space settings, salvage themes, and the satisfaction of building from recovered parts, Space Junkyard offers a focused journey through an orbital dumping ground. Gather what you can, reclaim useful modules, and turn the remnants of derelict spacecraft into a starship worthy of the journey.
