3/2/2024 0 Comments Galaxy trucker app reviewI’ll put some of my batteries on the outside as well, just because then I can use them up to power things. Similarly, try to use up batteries from the edges of the ship first.I don’t want to lose cabins and cargo! That’s what makes me the money. Not because they’re not useful, but because I can stand to lose them. Generally speaking, this is where I put things like cannons and engines. Ideally, your less-useful components will be on the outside of your ship.Otherwise, I find it difficult to keep my ship together. I generally like to have full shield coverage, and I try to put the shield components close to the center of my ship so that they’re least likely to come off. Trying to get good shield coverage is good.So if you’re going hard on the engines, make sure you have the cannons to match (and the batteries to power any of your doubles). Being first is good, but also, it opens you to the most damage from enemies that you encounter along your trek. The more engines you have, the more likely you’ll be at the front of the pack. Generally, lots of cannons and lots of engines are fun and helpful, but you’ll ideally want lots of cannons if you have more engines.That said, if you spend too much time planning your ideal ship, other players will take all the components you were looking for, so, still, be fast! Be careful about that! It’s not only extremely expensive, but you’ll probably lose some useful functionality along the way. You don’t want to have long corridors of singly-connected parts, because if any piece in that chain gets disconnected, you lose a massive chunk of your ship. You want to make sure you’re setting yourself up for success, long term, so lots of connections between ship parts are pretty ideal. Be quick but methodical when building.I don’t have a strong preference for player count for Galaxy Trucker I’d happily play it at two, three, or four players. I find the higher chaos of more players appealing, though, so it all kind of shakes out. That is inherently extremely subjective, though, so don’t take that as gospel. I’d say it roughly amortizes out across various player counts, plus, there are fewer players (at low player counts) taking your coveted ship parts, so you might actually be able to build a better (?) ship with fewer players. With fewer players, you’re entitled to more rewards, but you also have less defense (in terms of other players being functional meat shields against various attackers). The big difference that comes up across player counts is just in terms of where you’re placed, relative to other players. ![]() Hell, maybe you’ll even survive and make some money along the way! Will you be able to come out ahead in this galactic journey? Contents But you need to build your ship pretty quickly and pretty cleverly if you want to be first in line for the various rewards (and hazards) of the trip. It’s much closer to what I would call “harrowing”. It’ll build spaceships out of them and then hire you to drive them! Unfortunately, the journey isn’t exactly what I would call “easy”. In Galaxy Trucker, you’re gainfully employed by a company that has figured out the perfect way to transport its goods. This is a new edition of Galaxy Trucker, so, let’s see how it plays! And now, thanks our buds at CGE, I’m actually trying it out! It’s happening, get excited, et cetera. ![]() This time, we’re trying out a new version of an old classic! Yes, it’s Galaxy Trucker, from Czech Games Edition! I think I played this or at least saw it at my workplace’s board game library many years ago, and was always intrigued by it. Full disclosure: A review copy of Galaxy Trucker was provided by Czech Games Edition.
