About this board game

Drop Drive is a lightweight space sandbox game for 2–4 players, with approximately 60 minutes of play time. Players take on the roles of alien starship captains, exploring an ever-changing galaxy shaped by a unique drop-style setup.

At the beginning of each game, objects are dropped onto the table from a height of 4 to 5 inches. This creates a fresh galaxy layout with infinite possibilities, ensuring that no two games could possibly be the same.

Once the galaxy is formed, use your newly installed rocket drive to travel among nearby asteroids and mine valuable resources. Your experimental drop drive opens the way to distant and unknown depths of space, adding a novel spatial element to every journey.

  • Explore a unique galaxy created at the start of each game
  • Mine asteroids for precious resources
  • Upgrade your ship as you travel
  • Orbit strange worlds to sell cargo, pick up passengers, and collect alien specimens
  • Battle unscrupulous pirates seeking to profit from your efforts

Drop Drive blends strategy with an unusual physical setup that challenges both casual and experienced gamers. Every table layout changes the possibilities ahead, making exploration, movement, and resource gathering feel different from one session to the next.

Designed for 2–4 players, Drop Drive can accommodate a fifth player with an extra add-on pack. Whether you are mining asteroids, visiting mysterious worlds, or pushing your ship toward uncharted space, the game invites you to drop into infinite space and discover what the next galaxy holds.
