Galaxy Trucker: The Big Expansion

About this expansion

Galaxy Trucker: The Big Expansion expands the interstellar adventure for 2–5 players, with an approximately 60-minute play time. It adds a broad selection of mix-and-match components, giving returning players new ways to vary their journeys through space.

One major addition is support for five-player games. The expansion also introduces new ship-building components, including life support for the new alien species, as well as entirely new ship classes.

Adventure cards receive several upgrades and additions. The set includes an updated version of Rough Road Ahead, previously released as a downloadable set on the Czech Games website, with expanded and reformatted content. It also adds further adventure cards, including two that were previously available only at Spiel 07.

• Pieces and rules for five-player games
• An updated and expanded Rough Road Ahead set
• Additional adventure cards, including two formerly available only at Spiel 07
• A special deck that players individually insert into the adventure deck
• A new alien species and matching life-support components
• New ship-building components and ship classes

The special adventure deck lets players add cards to the deck themselves, creating surprises for their fellow drivers. This gives Galaxy Trucker: The Big Expansion another way to customize the hazards awaiting the fleet.

The expansion is not fully compatible with the first edition of Galaxy Trucker because of component differences. A compatibility kit containing replacement components for the base game was produced, although it was not yet widely available as of March 2009.
