Galaxy Trucker is a frantic family game played in two phases where players simultaneously rush to build spaceships out of tiles from a common warehouse. Once built, they race across the galaxy delivering goods, fighting pirates, and trying to keep their fragile trucks intact to make a profit.

The Verdict
based on 46 reviews
“Board Game Geek defines a '10' rating as a game as "Outstanding – will always enjoy playing". Within that definition, Galaxy Trucker is an easy 10 out of 10 for me.”
With its engaging gameplay, well-crafted components, and endless replayability, Galaxy Trucker is a must-have board game for both casual and experienced players.
“This is almost like a perfect game for me i think because there are so many different elements to this game that it's like it it scratches every aspect to it”(16:13)
“I can find very little at fault with Galaxy Trucker. However, I can see people not liking the game because of the concept – spaceships are not everybody’s cup of tea – or the racing to get the best tile aspect of the game.”
“Overall, I give Galaxy Trucker a 9.0/10. I think that it is an amazing game, and I'm glad that I finally broke down and tried it out!”
“I like this game, I really do. If you cannot afford the physical version or if you have no one to play with, I highly recommend checking out the digital version, but yeah, long story short, I do recommend this one. It's a fantastic game, go check it out.”(15:46)
“Galaxy trucker the definitely is a reason why this game is a classic and i'm happy that i know that now i'm happy that i'm on board because this is a really remarkable game”(20:53)
“There is no board game that has made me laugh as much as this game. I think that's why this one appeals to me so much. It just is one of the board games that I just think is the most pure fun.”
“Galaxy trucker is fantastic game real time build spaceships go on a run watch your spaceship get destroyed and hopefully make it to the end with at least some of the ship still together”
“Great game. Can't recommend it enough. Galaxy Trucker and all of the Galaxy Trucker expansions.”(6:21)
“Galaxy Trucker might be based on a lot of luck based mechanisms that have fallen out of favour, but its classic humour and laugh out loud gameplay more than make up for any frustration that might be caused by a lack of control.”
“But clearly for its fans and the hobby as a whole, the formula has withstood the test of time. Trucker remains an icon, playful and puzzling with nothing quite like it to date.”(9:31)
