Galaxy Trucker Missionen

Campaign mode in Space

You are a galaxy trucker and you build a spaceship to reach the Edge, for profit or loss. You start with the basic port of Spaceship 1, choose face-down parts to add to your ship or for interim storage and can check the stack of flight cards for suitable constructions. Then you undertake your flight with eight cards, by assembling and implementing them, abortion of a flight can happen.

Missionen has been designed as an implementation of the successful App and the campaign mode available there – players are now truckers with the corporation. You discover planets and space stations, acquire new ship models, meet characters and fly missions for them. Sixteen missions are in play, represented by mission cards, which explain the rules and rewards for each mission. There are also five new types of ship parts, this time freight parts, which usually earn you special awards in missions if you deliver them. There is Explosive Cargo, Fragile Cargo, Heavy Cargo, Radioactive Cargo and Artifacts, all with their own special characteristics and effects. In some missions you also encounter Super Cards, which basically work like standard adventure card, but with clearly much more devastating effects – but usually you know before you start your mission what you will encounter on such a card. They concern all players, carry now reward and many have cumulative effects in relation to the level of the flight.

Once again a tasty titbit to get your teeth into, if you are a fan of galactic transport facilities. The board game version keeps the promise given by the App. Absolutely fantastic and a must for each galactic trucker!
