galaxy trucker

played galaxy trucker this weekend.

interesting game.

you build a space ship, and then run thru a series of threats to get to the end and deliver cargo, score points /cash for placement, etc. runs as 3 sets so you build 3 different craft as the time goes.

ships are built on a template from a pile of tiles inthe cneter of the table.. first come, first served.. so you have to build your ship fast.. but well planned. some tiles won't match up with other tiles.

weapons, engines, shields, cargo bays, crew quarters, aliens, etc.. etc.

threats include meteor showers, pirates, slavers, deserted ships and stations, s few strategy cards via other players, and perils of open space... etc. in many cases you are limited to the power you have when you take off.. etc.

interesting game... 2 expansions out for it.
