About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more space madness with Galaxy Trucker: Latest Models! This expansion brings new boards for 2 to 5 players, featuring the Model C spaceships, which are pure headaches and fun. Classes 1C and 2C share a board, but watch out: some colored spaces are only for 2C, a trick that can cost you dearly! And the asteroids? They're smarter now, changing trajectory to hit you from the side or even splitting to deliver a double impact. In Class 3C, the ship is toroidal and the entire board is your construction space. But there's a catch: lasers need free space in front and engines behind. This means your ship will have to have strategic holes! The more holes, the higher the insurance. As for Class 4C, it allows building four separate ships, but with the hourglass flipping, a dice roll can open up new areas to connect everything. And when the hourglass flips again, more surprises and building areas might emerge. It's more chaos, more strategy, and much more Galaxy Trucker for those who already love the base game!
