TRUCKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

Don’t Panic! Or, you know what, go ahead. Panic. Either way, we’d like you to

know that you can learn to play just by reading the rst half of this rulebook.

In fact, we’ve designed it soyoucanlearntoplaywhileyou are reading.

By the time you nish page 5, you’ll be able to set up the game. And when

you nish page8, you’ll build your rst space ship. Then we’ll explain how

to y through space, and you can begin your rst galactic adventure! As

you play, consult pages 12 and 13 when you run into an adventure card,

andyou’llbedone withyourrstightbythe time you reach page 15.

So really, there’s nothing to panic about until you reach your

rst meteor swarm,and by then it will be too late.

FOR YOUR FIRST FLIGHT

ship boards

Here is where you’ll build

abeautiful space ship.

ight boards

Fly around the Galaxy!

Explore space! (But be sure

to stay on the little triangles.)

3 decks of adventure cards

With three levels of prot! (And

three levels of ship-smashing.)

other sides of ship boards

Each board has a level I ship

on one side, a level II ship on

one side, and a level III ship

on one side. Yes, somehow,

your board has three sides.

Welcome to the future!

Gravity causes the sand

to fall from the top space

to the bottom space. And

according to the General

Theory of Relativity,

when you mix gravity and

trucker title tiles

Shiny new ways to make

a name for yourself.

(And the other side

is even shinier.)

But, as we’re sure you’ve realized, you won’t actually be using the components to build a sewer system.

Instead, you’ll be welding them together to build a space ship.

You see, Corp Inc tried shipping their products in giant space freighters, but the freighters kept being

attacked by pirates and smashed by meteors. Shipments were lost. And freighter pilots began demanding

hazard pay.

So Corp Inc came up with a new business model: They would build their own spacecraft out of their own

sewer pipes. Then their product could ship itself! And instead of hiring expensive freighter pilots, they

would hire cheap truckers and require them to pay for any losses out of their own pockets. This is a great

deal for Corp Inc, but what about the truckers? Can they ever turn a prot?

They can. And they do. This guide will show you how. It has everything you need to become a full-edged,

truck-drivin’, pipe-haulin’ Galaxy Trucker!

* We meant that the components are helpful, not the overview. The overview will be totally useless in your trucking career.

HELPFUL* COMPONENT OVERVIEW

As a galaxy trucker, you’ll be working for Corporation Incorporated, a transgalactic construction rm that

builds sanitation systems and affordable housing on the edge of human civilization. Here’s a quick overview

of what you’ll be hauling to the Periphery:

Sewer pipes. The most

important part of any sanitation

system. Shiny, curvy, easy to fall

in love with. Or at least tolerate.

Plasma drills. If you want to

build a sewer system, you need

to start by digging some holes

inthe ground.

Hot-water heaters. They say one

of these babies can boil an

Arcturan megagallon of liquid

xenotritherium in less than

12kessels. Do they even know

what that means? We sure don’t.

Modular housing units. Cheap,

easy to install, includes shower

and ush toilet. What more

couldyou ask for on the frontier

planets?

Central housing units. The core

ofthe colony. Aliens say they’re

garish, but humans adore the

bright colors.

Storage compartments. Not just tool sheds, these

are space tool sheds. Please use red

compartments for substances that should be kept

out of reach of children and most adults.

Alien add-ons. The aliens have

written up very detailed instructions

for attaching these things to

housing units. We have no idea

whatthey do.

Power centers. Because the

onlything better than a frontier

sanitation network is a frontier

sanitation network with more

power!

Shield generators. These keep

settlements safe from stray

meteors, cosmic rays, and minor

orbital bombardments. (If your

settlement is subjected to major

orbital bombardments, you should

consider relocating.)

For your rst game, use the game board marked with an .

(It’s a learning ight.)

Dump out all the tiles in the middle of the table where everyone

can reach them. These are space ship components.

• Turn all components face down.

• Mix the components so no one knows what

any of them are.

Each player takes a ship board and folds it so they

can use the level I side.

Each player chooses a color and takes the rockets and

starting cabin in that color. Your starting cabin goes in the

center of your ship board.

One rocket goes on your ship board.

The other rocket goes on the parking lot on the ight

board.

When everyone is ready, the boldest player says “Go!”.

Everyone begins building simultaneously according to

the rules on this page.

BUILDING YOUR FIRST SHIP

HOW TO BUILD

Using only one hand, take one tile.

Bring it to your board, and then look at it.

If you keep it, attach it to your ship.

If you don’t attach it, return it to the pile face up.

SETUP

Note that all players are building simultaneously, as fast as they can, all grabbing from the same pile

of tiles. As they build, they will return some components, and these will be face up. The components

you take can be face up or face down, but you must take them one at a time. If you take a face-down

component, you must bring it all the way to your board before you reveal it. Under no circumstances

should players be ipping over multiple components in the middle of the table.

WELDING CONNECTORS

Each component added to your ship must be placed on an empty

square next to a component that is already part of your ship. It

must join to your ship using one of the three types of connectors:

universal connector

one-pipe

connector

smooth side (not a connector)

two-pipe

connector

Any type of connector will join with another of the same type. Aone-

pipe connector cannot be adjacent to atwo-pipe connector.

A connector with three pipes is universal. Universal connectors can

join with any type of connector.

Sides with no connectors are called smooth sides. Smooth sides

cannot be adjacent to connectors.

If your new component touches the ship on multiple sides, all

connectors must legally join. Two smooth sides may touch as long

as the piece being added makes a legal connection on another side.

Your ship must hold together at all times.

While adding a component, you can move it around to see where it

ts. However, it becomes welded to your ship as soon as you pick

up a new component. You can’t move a component once it has

been welded to your ship.

COMPONENTS

Cabins

You always start with one cabin,

which is called (for obvious

reasons) your starting cabin.

Additional cabins allow you to have

a bigger crew, so you want to have

as many cabins as possible.

Engines

Engines have special limitations:

the exhaust pipe must point to the

rear of the space ship (toward the

player) and no component can sit

on the square behind the engine.

This means that the exhaust pipe either opens into

an empty square or onto the edge of the building

zone.

Ships with more engines are faster, so you want as

many engines as possible.

Cannons

Cannons can point in any

direction, but they are most

effective when they point

forward (away from the player).

No component can sit on the square in front of the

cannon’s barrel.

Many dangers await you on your journey. You may

be in combat, or you may need to blow up meteors.

That’s why you want as many cannons as possible,

especially forward-pointing ones.

Double Engines andCannons

In an attempt to cram more

engines and cannons onto a

compact hull, engineers have

developed double engines and

double cannons.

Engineers have also tinkered with the idea of providing

more mounting points using designs that could

dramatically increase a ship’s surface area. However,

most research in this direction was abandoned after

the Star Ship Möbius exploded and imploded at the

same time.

Double engines and cannons have the same

placement restrictions as regular engines and

cannons. They have twice the power, but at the

expense of consuming a lot more energy. These

components cannot be used without batteries.

Battery components

Energy for double engines and double

cannons is stored in size E batteries.

(The “E” is for “E-normous.”)

A battery component will have 2or

3 batteries. Each battery stores

enough energy to power one use of a

double engine, a double cannon, or a

shield. Batteries can be anywhere on

the ship; they do not have to be next to the component

they are powering.

With matter-annihilation technology, it was possible

to store this much energy in a battery no larger than

a golf ball. Today, of course, such batteries are illegal

thanks to the lobbying efforts of matter rights activists,

who received heavy support from the Fatally Confused

Golfers’ Memorial Fund.

To get the most from your ship, you’ll need double

cannons and double engines, which means you will

want as many batteries as possible.

Shield Generators

Shields are there for when things go

wrong. They can deflect smaller

meteors and some hits from enemy

cannons. They get their power from

batteries.

One shield generator can protect the ship on two

sides. It works from any place on the ship. All that

matters is which way it is oriented.

Now you are probably expecting us to say you want

as many as possible. Of course not. You only need

two shield generators, provided they are oriented to

cover all four directions. In fact, if you are gutsy (or

suicidal) you can y without any shields at all.

One shield generator covers the left side and

thefront of this ship. The other covers the left

side and the rear. The right side is unprotected.

Cargo Holds

Cargo holds come with 2 or

3 containers. You can put them

anywhere. They can be used to store

the goods that you nd along the way.

Of course, goods translate into

prots, which is what trucking is all

about, so you want as many cargo

holds as possible.

Special Cargo Holds

Red goods are hazardous materials

which can only be transported in

these special cargo holds. These

holds have only 1 or 2 containers, but

they are heavily reinforced and (as far

as we know) radiation-proof. Meeting

maximum safety requirements, these

containers can hold any type of

goods. They are “special” because

they are the only containers that can also hold red

goods.

Of course there are thousands of horror stories

illustrating why hazardous goods should not be

transported in normal containers. We give only the

example of James “Skip” Fairweather, who decided to

transport several tons of plutonium in used fruit crates.

Upon landing, he lost both arms and one leg to a mob

of angry environmentalists.

Hazardous goods are the most valuable, so it is

important to have a lot of special cargo holds.

Structural Modules

Structural modules don’t seem very

important because they don’t do

anything. However, they have a lot of

connectors, many of them universal.

Structural modules can make your

ship more durable so that it doesn’t y apart the rst

time it gets hit by something.

Odd Bits of Unknown Origin

Don’t worry about these other

components right now. On your rst

flight, you can treat them just like

structural modules.

Watch for these Mistakes!

• A one-pipe connector adjacent

to a two-pipe connector.

• Any type of connector adjacent to a smooth side.

• An engine not pointing toward the rear.

• A component placed immediately

behind an engine.

• A component placed immediately

in front of a cannon’s barrel.

• A component outside the indicated building area.

• A component or part of the ship

not attached to the rest.

POP QUIZ!

Now that you know all the ship-building rules, you should beable

to nd 7thingswrongwiththeshipillustrated here.

EXPOSED CONNECTORS

Connectors that are not connected, i.e., those not

adjacent to another component, are considered to

be exposed.

67 5

This ship has 8 exposed connectors.

(Count exposed sides, not individual pipes.)

Exposed connectors are allowed, but they increase

the risk of damage to your ship and in some cases

they can slow it down. The ends of exposed pipes

get warped in transit, so Corporation Incorporated

pays a bonus for ships that arrive with few exposed

connectors.

FINISHING BUILDING

Once you are happy with your ship (or once you

run out of good places to add more components)

you can nish your ship. You do not have to place a

component on every square of your ship board.

To nish building, move your rocket marker from the

parking lot to an available starting space on the ight

board. The rst player to nish will take space 1, the

second player will take space 2, and so on.

(In the full game, there is a time limit, but for

your learning flight, we assume anyone who is

unreasonably slow can be persuaded to nish by

gently thumping the box lid against their head.)

Whenever players are supposed to do something “in

order” that means the order shown by their rockets on

the ight board. Some adventures are harsher toward

players who are in front, but if you have a decent ship,

being in front is usually better. So it’s not enough to

build a perfect space ship with lots of everything and

no exposed connectors. You want to be the rst.

GO BUILD YOUR FIRST SHIP!

RIGHT NOW, YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ ON.

PREPARING FOR LAUNCH

Check everyone else’s ship to be sure all ships

have been built according to the rules. Fix the

ships that aren’t.

You don’t need the ship-building tiles anymore,

so you might as well shove them off to one

side.

Take out the astronaut gures. Everyone puts

2astronauts in each cabin on their ship.

Take out the battery tokens. Everyone lls their

battery components with the number of tokens

shown. (It’s always either 2 or 3.)

Place the credits and goods blocks nearby. You

don’t get any now, but you are hoping to load a

lot of them during the ight.

Oh … and dice. You’ll need the two dice.

And now all that’s left is to prepare the

adventure deck for your learning ight.

Fixing ships

Players who have illegal ships must remove

components until their ships are legal. Normally

Corp Inc imposes a penalty for this, but we can ignore

those penalties on a learning ight. In fact, truckers-

in-training should be offered extra building time to x

their mistakes. They take back their rocket markers

and everyone behind them can move up in the ight

order while they are rebuilding.

Time to get trucking

Give the adventure deck to the leader – the player whose ship in on space 1. The leader begins the adventure

by revealing the rst card of the deck.

ADVENTURE DECK

For a learning ight

8adventure cards

marked with an

They are in the

levelIdeck.

Shue the cards

face down. This is

the adventure deck

for your ight.

HITS TO YOUR SHIP

The ight board depicts the possible dangers your ship might face. Each threat comes from a certain direction

in a specic row or column. This will be explained in greater detail later, but here is a summary:

THE FLIGHT

FLIGHT OVERVIEW

During the ight, you will face a series of adventure cards. The leader reveals the rst card, and players resolve

it. The leader reveals the second card, and players resolve it. And so on.

The ight board shows the players’ positions relative to each other. Some adventures may let you gain a lead.

Others may drop you back in the pack. Whenever the lead changes, the deck is passed to the new leader.

The ight ends when the nal adventure card is resolved.

LOSING FLIGHT DAYS

Some cards have a number in the lower right corner. This tells how many days you will lose if you

take the benets of the card. Whenever you lose ight days, voluntarily or not, move your marker

back that many empty spaces (skipping over other rockets). This is one way the lead can change.

If multiple players lose ight days at the same time, they lose them in reverse order. (The player

farthest behind moves back rst.)

If Yellow loses 3 flight days, he will end up in the space just in front of Red.

If a component of your ship is hit (because you can’t

or won’t protect it) it is destroyed and the tile must be

removed. This might cause some other components

to become disconnected and fall off – remove them

from your ship as well. If your ship is broken into

multiple pieces, you decide which piece you will pilot

to your destination and the other pieces fall off.

Lost components (whether they were destroyed or

fell off) are placed in your discard pile – in the marked

area in the upper right corner of your ship board.

When you reach your destination, you will have to

forfeit 1 cosmic credit for each component lost along

the way. Any playing pieces (crew, battery tokens,

goods) on lost components are returned to the bank.

You can protect your ship from

small meteors by building it well

(they bounce off smooth sides)

or by using a properly oriented shield

(which will cost you 1 battery token).

You can protect your ship

from large meteors by

shooting them with a cannon.

You can protect your ship

from light cannon re with

a properly oriented shield

(which will cost you 1 battery

token).

Nothing protects your

ship from heavycannon

re.

GAINING CREDITS

If a card gives you cosmic credits, take them from the bank. You can keep them in a stack so no one

knows how many you have. It’s none of their business anyway.

GAINING GOODS

When a card enables you to load

goods onto your ship, take the

indicated colored blocks from the

bank and place them in your cargo

containers. (Each cargo hold has

1 to 3 containers.) Each container

can only hold 1 block. Excess

goods have to be dumped into

space (returned to the bank). The

price list will help you decide what to keep and what

to dump.

Red blocks are the most valuable,

but they are hazardous materials

and must be kept in the special red

containers. If you don’t have enough

special cargo containers, you have

to discard excess red blocks.

As long as you have enough space,

you should take everything you can

get – even if you have to put cheap goods

in red cargo containers. When you load

new goods, you can rearrange or discard

your old goods.

Dumping goods into space is a violation of anti-littering

laws, punishable by nes and imprisonment. Under no

circumstances should you ever tell the authorities that

we were the ones who recommended that you do this.

LOSS OF GOODS OR CREW

If a card requires you to give up goods, you

must return the most valuable goods to the

bank. If you don’t have enough goods to

cover the indicated loss, you must give up

battery tokens to make up the difference. Once you

are out of goods and battery tokens, they can’t take

any more from you.

If a card requires you to give up crew,

return that many gures to the bank.

PARAMETERS

OFYOUR SHIP

Sometimes you have to count up

the strength of your engines or

cannons.

Double engines and double

cannons need batteries. Each time

you have to calculate the strength

of your engines or cannons, you

must decide which double engines

or cannons you will use. Spent

batteries are returned to the bank.

Engine Strength

Each single engine counts as 1.

Each double engine on which

you spend a battery token counts

as2.

Cannon Strength

+1+1

Each forward-pointing single

cannon counts as 1.

Each forward-pointing double

cannon that you spend a battery

token on counts as 2.

Each cannon pointing to the

side or to the rear counts at

only half value (½ for a single

cannon or 1 for a double cannon

on which you spend a battery

token on).

Ah, you ask whether to round up

or down? Just don’t. Strength

5½ is slightly better than 5 and

worse than 6.

GO FLY YOUR FIRST SHIP!

You now have a general idea of the various terrors and rewards of galaxy trucking. You can resume playing

right now.

The next two pages have a detailed explanation of each of the 8 adventure cards. When you reveal a new

card, look it up on page 12 or 13, read the rules, and then resolve the card. Continue in this way until you have

faced every adventure in the deck.

ADVENTURE CARDS

PLANETS

A Planets card has 2 to 4 planets where

you can pick up goods. Landing will cost

you the number of ight days shown in

the lower right corner. If you want to land,

mark the planet you choose with your

second rocket (the one not on the ight board). Only

one rocket is allowed per planet.

The leader chooses rst, followed by the other players

in order. No one is required to land. In fact, players in

front sometimes prevent the others from landing at all.

Those who landed load the indicated goods on their

ships. (See Gaining Goods on page 11.) Goods can be

rearranged or discarded at this time. It is legal to land

just to block others from landing, but be sure it is worth

the loss of ight days.

Once everyone has decided whether to land, those

who landed move their markers back that many empty

spaces, with the player who is farthest behind moving

rst.

ABANDONED SHIP

If you nd an Abandoned Ship, you’re

in gravy! There’s probably some sort of

protocol for reporting these things, but

who cares? Fix it up and sell it to your

crew. (Yeah, they’re so sick of ying with

you, they’ll pay for the chance to jump ship.)

Only one player can use this opportunity. The leader

decides rst. The leader can give up the specied

number of crew gures and take the indicated number

of cosmic credits. This also costs ight days.

If the leader chooses not to use the opportunity, it falls

to the next player in line, and so on. Once one player

xes up the ship, the remaining players are out of luck.

Sometimes you’ll nd a ship that you’ll be tempted to keep

for yourself. Don’t be greedy. Let the crew have it. There’s

probably a reason that ship was abandoned.

ABANDONED STATION

When fleeing the tragic disaster that

befell this space station, the inhabitants

probably left behind some good loot. It will

take a big crew to search for it, though.

To use this opportunity, you must have at

least as many crew as shown on the card.

Only one player can use this opportunity. The leader

decides rst. If the leader does not have enough crew

or if the leader does not wish to lose those ight days,

the leader can pass the opportunity to the next player

along the ight. Once someone decides to dock, the

others are out of luck.

When you dock with a space station, load the indicated

goods on your ship. (See Gaining Goods on page 11.)

You can rearrange or discard goods at this time. Move

your marker back the indicated number of ight days.

Note that on an Abandoned Station you lose no crew.

SMUGGLERS

Smugglers and other enemies pose a

threat to everyone, but they attack the

players’ ships in order. First, they attack

the leader. If they win, they attack the

next player in line, and so on, until they

have attacked everyone or until someone

defeats them.

The upper right corner of the card shows what happens

if you lose. (These smugglers take your 2 most valuable

goods. If you run out of goods, they take batteries

instead.) The bottom part of the card shows what you

get if you win. (If you defeat Smugglers, you can load

the indicated goods – see Gaining Goods on page 11.)

The strength of the enemy is given by the number next to

the cannon symbol. (These Smugglers have strength 4.)

The leader counts up cannon strength, paying for any

double cannons used. If this strength is greater than

the enemy’s, the player wins and may claim the reward

by losing ight days. If any player wins, the enemies go

away and the remaining players are not attacked.

If the player loses (has a lower strength than the enemy),

the player pays the penalty specied in the upper half of

the card. Then the enemy attacks the next player.

In case of a tie (when the player has strength equal to

the enemy’s) nothing happens to that player, but the

enemy is not defeated, either. The enemy moves on to

attack the next player.

A complete example is on page 14.

OPEN SPACE

Open Space is like a wide-open drag strip.

Each player will have a chance to gain

ight days.

In turn, each player declares their engine

strength, beginning with the leader, and continuing in

the order shown by the rockets on the ight board.

You must decide whether to spend battery tokens

on any double engines when it is your turn to declare

engine strength (see page 11). Then you immediately

move your rocket marker that many empty spaces

forward. This may allow you to pass players ahead of

you (occupied spaces are skipped) and perhaps even

take the lead.

METEOR SWARM

A Meteor Swarm can really mess with your

paint job. The card depicts several large

and/or small meteors and the directions

they come from. Deal with meteors one

at a time, top to bottom. They affect all

players simultaneously.

For each meteor, the leader rolls two dice. The roll

determines which row or column the meteor can

impact. The rows and columns are numbered on the

edge of your ship board. Each player receives their own

personal meteor and checks to see if it hits or misses

their ship. If the roll does not miss, proceed as follows:

A small meteor will harmlessly bounce off of a

well-built ship. It is only a problem if it hits an

exposed connector. In this case, you can still

avoid damage by powering up a shield if you

have one that protects that side. You must pay

1 battery token to do this. If you can’t or won’t

avoid the impact, the component the meteor

hits is destroyed. Remove it from your ship and

add it to your pile of components lost along

the way.

A large meteor is, of course, even more

dangerous. It will damage even a well-built

ship, and shields cannot stop it. Your only

hope is to blast it. You can only shoot it if

you have a cannon pointed at it in the same

column. If it is a double cannon, you will

have to pay 1 battery token to use it. Large

meteors tend to come from in front of you, which is why

we recommended you pay special attention to cannons

pointing forward.

If you don’t shoot a large meteor, the component it hits

is destroyed.

COMBAT ZONE

The true test of any space ship is to y

it through a combat zone. The Combat

Zone card has 3 lines which are evaluated

in succession. Each line gives a criterion

and a penalty for the player who is weakest in that area.

First, the player with the fewest crew gures loses

3ight days.

Next, the player with the weakest engines loses 2 crew

members. Players count up their engine strength in

order, starting with the leader, deciding whether or not

to spend battery tokens on double engines.

Finally, the player with the weakest cannons is

threatened by light cannon re from behind and heavy

cannon re from behind. Again, players decide in order,

starting with the leader, which double cannons they will

pay for.

Hits from cannon re work like hits from meteors except

they are more dicult to defend against. Each hit has a

direction. The player rolls two dice to determine which

row or column the hit is coming from, thus determining

which component of the ship (if any) is in danger.

The only way to defend against light cannon

re is with a shield that protects against hits

from that direction. This can be powered at

the cost of 1 battery token. Otherwise, the

component is destroyed.

There is no way to defend against

heavy cannon re. Your only hope is to roll

high enough or low enough that it misses

your ship entirely. Otherwise, the component

it hits is destroyed.

In each criterion – smallest crew, weakest

engines, weakest cannons – it is possible for players to

be tied. Among tied players, the one farthest ahead is

the only one who must face the penalty. (Usually, being

ahead is good; in a combat zone, it’s dangerous.)

A complete example of the learning ight’s Combat

Zone is on page 14.

STARDUST

Yellow cards are special events. In your

learning ight, the only special event is

Stardust. Every player loses 1 ight day for

every exposed connector. (Each exposed

connector only counts once, regardless

of whether it is one pipe, two pipes, or

universal.) In reverse order, starting with the last player,

each player counts exposed connectors and moves

back that many empty spaces.

EXAMPLE: SMUGGLERS

Red, Green, and Blue are trucking

across the Galaxy in that order. They

run into smugglers with strength 4.

Red is the leader. Her maximum cannon strength

is 5 (2 for single cannons, 2 for the double cannon

pointing forward, 1 for the double cannon pointing

to the side) but this would cost 2 battery tokens and

she only has 1. She decides to use it, giving her a

strength of 4, which matches the smugglers. The

result is a tie and nothing happens to Red. She is

lucky. If she had lost the ght, the Smugglers would

have taken 1 red and 1 yellow block from her.

Green is next in line. By paying 2battery tokens,

she has strength 4½. This is enough to defeat the

smugglers and take 2of their goods. (She discards

the blue block because she can’t t it on her ship.)

She also moves her ship back 1empty space.

Blue is lucky to have been flying last. He can’t

make his strength go higher than 3, so he

would have lost his blue block and 1 battery

token. As it is, the Smugglers are defeated

and the adventure does not affect him.

EXAMPLE: COMBAT ZONE

Green and Yellow are trucking

across the Galaxy in that order,

minding their own business, when

they run into this combat zone.

First, Green and Yellow compare crew.

Because Yellow has more, Green moves

back 3 flight days. This puts Yellow in the lead.

Next, they compare engine strength.

Yellow has engine strength 3. He has no double

engines, so he has no decisions to make.

Green can have engine strength 1, 3, or 5, depending

on whether she spends 0, 1, or 2 battery tokens.

Yellow is now ahead, so if they are tied for

strength, Yellow will have to pay the penalty

and Green will not. Green decides to spend

1 battery token. Yellow loses 2 crew.

Finally, they compare cannon strength. Again, they are

tied, and again it is Yellow who gets shot by cannon re.

First, he rolls for the light cannon re. Yellow rolls

5 and2, that’s 7. He has no shield, so the engine in

column7 is destroyed. Yellow puts it on his discard pile.

For the heavy cannon re, he rolls 1 and 4. That’s

a miss – there is no component in column 5.

(If rolling 7 again, yellow’s starting cabin

would be destroyed, which would also

cause the right engine to fall off).

Anyway, the Combat zone is evaluated. Green hands the

adventure deck to Yellow, who reveals the next card.

JOURNEY’SEND

WINNING

WHAT NEXT?

Finish Order Reward

This shows how many credits you get for completing

the ight. The player who is farthest ahead gets the

most credits, second gets second most, and so on.

Award for Best-Looking Ship

This award goes to the player who nishes

with the best-looking ship. Count up the

number of exposed connectors on your

ships. (Each exposed connector counts only once,

regardless of whether it is one pipe, two pipes, or

universal.) Whoever has the fewest exposed

connectors gets the indicated credits. If there is a tie,

all tied players receive the award.

Sale of Goods

Return all your goods to the bank, and take the

number of cosmic credits indicated by the price list.

Losses

Now you have to deliver the

components of your ship to

Corporation Incorporated. For each

component you lost along the way, you lose

1cosmiccredit. (When you lost components, you

placed them in a discard pile on your space ship

board, so it is easy to keep track of how many you

lost.)

Add up all your cosmic credits. If that number is 1 or

more, you win!

Your goal was to make money, and you did. So what if

some other jokers made more?

Of course, the player who has the most credits is a

bit more of a winner than everyone else.

Once you have completed your first flight, you'll

know the basics of galaxy trucking and you'll be

ready to start your professional trucking career.

Professional truckers drive bigger ships and face

bigger challenges. They get a route forecast so

they can build ships that are better prepared for the

specic adventures they will face. And they get alien

sidekicks! (If they can gure out how to hook up the

life support systems.) To start your professional

trucking career, just turn the page.

Your ight is over once all 8 adventure cards have been dealt with. Now it’s time to deliver your sewer pipes!

The ight board depicts the rewards and penalties you receive at the end of your ight.

Congratulations on completing your rst ight! We assume you made it all the way to the end because the

alternative – losing your ship – hasn’t been explained yet. In fact, there are several things we haven’t explained,

but now that you’ve completed your learning ight, we think you’re ready for them.

CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL

Experienced truckers can handle bigger ships, more challenges, and

more surprises. From now on, before you begin building for a ight,

everyone should agree on its level – I, II, or III. Use the ight board

and ship boards corresponding to that level.

Level I is good for teaching the game to new players. It’s also the

quickest ight. Level III offers the full Galaxy Trucker challenge, and

it takes the most time. Level II, of course, is somewhere in between.

THE ADVENTURE DECK

Card Piles

Before everyone starts building ships, someone needs to

make 4adventure card piles. The composition of each pile

is depicted at the bottom of the ight board.

ADDITIONAL SHIP-BUILDING RULES

Note that the rewards

for nishing a higher-level

ight are bigger.

Flight Forecast

The 3 piles at the bottom of the ight board are Corp Inc’s ight forecast. Once you have added at least one

component to your ship, you can look at any pile. You can’t add components while you are looking at cards.

When you return the pile, you can resume building or look through another one. You can look at these cards

as often as you like, until you nish your ship. Keep in mind, however, that picking up a pile welds your most

recent component to your ship, just like picking up a new tile does.

Preparing for Flight

The pile at the top of the board remains hidden. No one is allowed to look through it, and those adventures

will be a surprise to everyone during the ight. When everyone is

done building, the leader combines all four card piles together and

shues thoroughly. The top card must match the level of the ight. If

necessary, shue a little more until it does.

A level III flight uses 2 level III cards, 1 level IIcard,

and1level I card in each pile.

Shue the relevant decks and draw cards face down to make each

pile. Place 3 piles at the bottom of the ight board and 1 at the top.

RESERVING COMPONENTS

While building, you can

reserve up to 2 components.

These go in the upper right

corner of your ship board. No

one can take these from you,

and you can add them to your ship at any time during

building. When you add one, you have room to reserve

a new component, but you can never have more than

two in reserve at once. You cannot return a reserved

component to the table.

If a component is reserved but not added to your ship,

you leave it on your board as the beginning of your

discard pile. It counts against you at the end of the

ight as a component lost along the way.

No one cares that the components are still lying there

at the launch site, nor that this junk is only worth a

fraction of the penalty Corp Inc charges you for losing

it. A contract is a contract.

THE TIMER

Start the timer on this space of the ight board. The player who starts the

timer should simultaneously say, “Go!”

FINISHING BUILDING

You may nish building at any time. To nish building,

place your rocket on one of the starting spaces that

no one else has taken yet. (You are allowed to choose

any empty starting space, except one with a number

higher than the number of players in the game.

However, most truckers want to start as close to the

front as they can.)

Once the timer runs out on the last space, the player

who flipped it should say, “Stop!” Everyone who

was still building must immediately stop and take

a starting space, with the best space going to the

player whose rocket reaches it rst.

Flip the timer to the last space. This can be done only

by a player who has nished building (and only after

time has run out on the previous ip).

SPOT CHECK

After building, check each other’s ships. If your ship

breaks one or more ship-building rules, remove

components until it is no longer in violation. Place

these components (including any that fall off on

the launch pad) in your discard pile. They count as

components lost along the way.

If a mistake is not discovered until the ship is in ight,

the offender must immediately correct the mistake

as described above and pay the bank 1 cosmic credit

for violating the laws of physics.

Flip the timer to the next space. Any player may do this once

time has run out. If no one wants to ip the timer, players just

keep building until someone decides to ip it or until everyone

is done. Different boards have different numbers of ips. (On a

level I board, you skip this step and go straight to the last ip.)

ALIENS

LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS

So what are those funny components

that we refused to explain earlier?

They are life support systems for

aliens.

In order for the life support system

to have any effect, it must be joined

to a cabin. This makes the cabin

inhabitable by aliens of the corresponding color.

However, you cannot put an alien in your starting

cabin. (They say the paint smells funny.)

Human crew members wear space suits, so they can

go in any cabin, even if it has an alien life support

system attached.

PLACING THE CREW

Crew gures are placed according to the following

rules:

•

The starting cabin gets 2 humans. (Neither of these

is “you”. But they will be your close roommates on

a long voyage, so after a while you might start

thinking they are you.)

• A cabin that is not joined to a life support system

gets 2 humans.

•

A cabin joined to a life support system gets

2humans or 1 alien of the corresponding color.

• A cabin joined to one life support system of each

color gets either 2 humans or 1 purple alien or

1brown alien.

• Your board can have no more than 1 alien of each

color.

Possibilities for placing crew. Note you

cannot put 2 purple aliens on your ship.

If any player wishes to choose humans or aliens

based on what other players do, then players should

place crew in order, beginning with the leader.

ALIEN ABILITIES

Aliens are crew members and are counted as such

in a Combat Zone or an Abandoned Station. You can

send them away on an Abandoned Ship or give them

up to Slavers (see facing page).

The disadvantage of taking an alien on board is that

it takes up the space of two humans. But, of course,

there are some advantages.

Purple aliens are a war-like species. If you have a

purple alien, you get +2 to cannon strength. (If your

cannon strength without the alien is 0, you don’t get

this bonus. It’s not going to ght a space battle with

its bare tentacles.)

Brown aliens are good mechanics. If you have a

brown alien, you get +2 to engine strength. (If your

engine strength without the alien is 0, you don’t get

this bonus. It’s not going to get out and push.)

SUPPORT SYSTEM HITS

If your ship loses a life support system and this leaves

an alien in a cabin that can no longer support it, return

the alien to the bank. (It leaves in an emergency

escape pod, of course.)

eBook available!

Just how badly do aliens need

those life support systems? Why

don’t they wear space suits? Or

clothes? And why do they y with

truckers anyway? It’s possible

the answers to some of these

questions are in Jason A. Holt’s

book Galaxy Trucker: Rocky Road.

ADDITIONAL ADVENTURE CARDS

STRAY BIG METEORS

Meteors can come at your

ship from the left, the

right, or even the rear!

Large meteors coming

from in front of you can

be blown up only by a

forward-pointing cannon

in the column from which

they are approaching, but

large meteors from the side or the rear can

be blown up by a cannon pointing toward the

meteor in the same or adjacent row or column.

Areminder is printed on the ight board.

Most spacecraft are protected from meteors by

autotargeting gun turrets, self-guided missiles, or

disintegration elds. Yours is protected by cannons

made from sewer drills.

ADVANCED ENEMIES

On your ight, you may also encounter Pirates and

Slavers. When you defeat them, you don’t gain goods

– you gain cold, hard cosmic credits. Move your ship

back the indicated number of empty spaces and take

the credits from the bank. If you don’t want to lose

ight days, you can choose not to take the credits (or

goods in the case of Smugglers) and leave your ship

where it is. Either way, no other player may collect the

reward once the enemy has been defeated.

If the Slavers defeat you, they force

you to give up some of your crew.

You choose which humans or

aliens to surrender in exchange for

your own freedom.

If the Pirates defeat you, your ship

gets shot at. (The card indicates

the size and direction of the

cannon re.) Keep track of all the

players who were defeated and

then have the rst defeated player

roll two dice to determine the row

or column of each shot. This roll

applies to all defeated players.

Light cannon re can only be stopped by a shield

oriented in the correct direction and powered by a

battery. Heavy cannon re cannot be stopped. (See

Hits to your ship on page 10.)

Note: When counting engine or cannon strength, you

can voluntarily decide to not use a battery even if you

have one. However, your regular engines or cannons

and the aliens are used automatically, you cannot

decide to not use them to have lower strength.

MORE SPECIAL EVENTS

Epidemic makes you remove

1crew member (human or alien)

from every occupied cabin that is

joined to another occupied cabin.

The safe thing to do is to build

your ship so that no two cabins are

joined. If you do have joined

cabins, maybe you can find an

adventure that will allow you to

empty one of them before the epidemic strikes.

Sabotage destroys a random

component on the ship with the

smallest crew. (Among multiple

ships tied for smallest crew, only

the one farthest ahead is

sabotaged.) To select the

component, the affected player

rolls 2 dice to determine the

column and then 2 dice to

determine the row. If there is no component at those

coordinates, roll again for new coordinates. If there

is no component there, roll again. If three sets of

coordinates are rolled without hitting a component,

the saboteurs give up and nothing happens.

If the saboteurs destroy a component, it goes to your

discard pile, as do any others that fall off as a result.

A hit to the center of the ship can be devastating.

GOODS SHORTAGE

In higher-level ights, there might not

be enough goods to go around. In

such a situation, players load goods

in order. Goods discarded by ships

in front are available to load on

ships behind. Players who are left with no blocks to

load are out of luck, and they still lose ight days.

GIVING UP

FORCED TO GIVE UP

Galaxy trucking is a risky business, and you should

expect to take a few hard knocks. Just don’t take too

many or they will knock you out of the game.

The following circumstances force you to give up on

the ight:

•

Losing all humans. If you lose your last human

astronaut, you must give up. Alien crew members

can’t run the ship by themselves.

•

No engine strength in open space. Normally, you

can coast to the nish line even if your ship has

no engines. But if you run into an Open Space

adventure, you must declare engine strength

greater than zero or give up on the ight.

• Getting lapped. If the leader is more than one full

circle ahead of you on the board, you must give up.

You check for these conditions only once the

adventure card is fully resolved. For example, if you

lose your last human crew member in a Combat

Zone, you must suffer through all the lines of the card

before your ship leaves the ight. On the plus side,

if the leader passes you in Open Space, you still get

your turn to re up your engines, and maybe you can

avoid being lapped.

CHOOSING TO GIVE UP

If you think the remaining adventures will be bad for

you, it might be better to give up and cut your losses.

You can decide to give up, but you must do so before

the next adventure card is revealed. (If you decide

to give up after seeing an adventure card, you must

suffer through that entire adventure rst.)

Sometimes you cut your losses. Other times, your

losses cut you.

FINISHING ALONE

If only one player is left after everyone else has given

up, that player tries to nish alone. In this case, ignore

the Combat Zone and Sabotage adventures (which

penalize the player with the fewest engines, cannons,

or crew members).

AN EARLY LANDING

No matter where you leave the ight, Corp Inc always

has a handy warehouse nearby ready to receive the

pipes you are carrying (and ready to charge you for

the pipes you lost). If you give up:

• Remove your rocket from the ight board. You are

just a spectator for the rest of the ight and none

of the cards can affect you.

•

You don’t get any reward for the order in which

you nished (because you didn’t nish, obviously).

When players compete to see who has the fewest

exposed connectors, your ship does not count.

• You do get to sell your goods, but only at half the

total price. Add up the standard price of all your

goods and then take half that many credits. (Round

up.)

•

You have to pay the penalty for the components

you lost along the way. (Anything you haven’t lost

yet can be returned to Corp Inc without penalty, so

only pay for those in your discard pile.)

If you give up, you can still “win” in the sense that any

prot counts as a win. And if you end up with more

prot than all the other fools who ew that accursed

ight, you win in that sense, too. In the end, it’s all

about the cosmic credits.

Of course, trucking has other compensations which

many truckers nd more important than money. There’s

the thrill of the adventure. And fame. And glory. And

honor. And … oh who are we kidding? With enough

money, you can buy adventure, fame, glory, and honor

and still have enough left over for dinner at a fancy

restaurant.

THE FIRST FLIGHT

So you’ve flown through a few meteor swarms. And

defeated a few pirates. Maybe you even slipped through

a combat zone completely unscathed. Well, there’s one

challenge you haven’t seen yet – the ultimate test of

skill, speed, and courage – we’re talking about the

Transgalactic Trek.

In the Transgalactic Trek you will y three ights –

level I, level II, and level III. For each ight, you will

build a new ship. Credits you earn on one ight carry

over to the next, and you will accumulate more and

more wealth as you y across the Galaxy.

(Of course, success is not guaranteed. For example,

you may have to give up on a ight. But even then, you

get to come back and build a ship for the next one.

And if you somehow lose all your money, your debts

will be covered by random strangers who like stories

about trucks blowing up, and you will start the next

ight at zero credits.)

In addition to the usual ways to earn credits, you can

also prot from your reputation. In the rst ight, you

will establish a name for yourself, and then you can try

to build on that reputation during the next two ights.

The Transgalactic Trek uses the

title tiles, but only one per player.

Select the appropriate number of

tiles at random and return the

others to the box.

Set up a level I ight with the titles silver side-up next

to the ight board. Players will compete for these

titles. Each has its own criteria, described on the next

page. Read their descriptions aloud so that everyone

knows what they are trying to achieve.

Then play the rst ight according to the usual rules.

EARNING TITLES

At the end of the ight, take your rewards and

penalties as usual, except that, instead of the

reward for best-looking ship, players are

rewarded based on the criteria of the titles.

Only players who completed the ight can win a title.

Count up scores for each title and give the title to the

player with the best score. For example, the Power

Trucker title goes to the player who nished the ight

with the most battery-powered components.

For each title, all players with the best score earn

2credits (the level I reward for best-looking ship), but

only one can have the title tile. Among tied players,

give the title to the one who nished farther ahead.

Special cases: If all players score zero for a particular

title, it goes to the player who nished in the lead, but

no one gets credits for it. If no players completed the

ight, no one gains credits from titles and the titles

are distributed randomly, one to each player.

DISTRIBUTING TITLES

It’s possible that every player will earn exactly one

title, but it’s also possible that someone – perhaps

you – will have been clever enough to earn more

than one. If you nish the ight with multiple titles,

you must choose one to keep and give the others to

players who don’t have a title yet. When giving away

titles, you may assign them randomly or use any

criteria you choose. (Note that we are just talking

about redistributing the tiles here. Players keep all the

credits they earned during the title-scoring step.) If

multiple players are in a position to give away titles,

the player who nished farther ahead decides rst.

For the next ight, everyone will start with a title, even

players who gave up on the rst ight. Players keep

their title for the remainder of the Transgalactic Trek.

The Transgalactic Trek has a

long tradition that starts in the

future. Tolearn its secret origins,

check out the campaign in the

Galaxy Trucker app. (It’s also

great for playing Galaxy Trucker

with your friends and with new

truckers you’ll meet online.)

www.galaxytrucker.game

Freight Hauler

You know all the ways to pick up goods and

you’re always ready to load more. They say

you would haul a herd of ultramammoths if you thought

you could nd a buyer.

Count the number of cargo components that

have at least one block of goods.

Tip: Having lots of cargo space is important, but

you also need to y near the front so you don’t miss

opportunities to load. Don’t forget you can rearrange

goods only when you are loading, so it might be a good

idea to keep your blocks spread out … if you can keep

your ship in one piece.

Power Trucker

You love the hum of the shields, the roar of

double engines, and the sizzle of double cannons.

Count the number of components that use

batteries (shields, double engines, and double

cannons).

Tip: Battery components do not count, but it’s good to

have enough to power all your cool stuff.

Xenoquartermaster

Aliens like to fly with you, because you know

what aliens like – privacy.

For each alien on your ship, add up its

walking distance to the nearest cabin.

The nearest cabin is the one it could get to in the fewest

steps, walking through the pipes. For example, a cabin

on an adjacent square is at distance 1, but only if it is

joined. If not joined, it might not even be nearest. If the

alien must pass through an intervening component to

reach the nearest cabin, it is at distance 2. And so on.

Even an empty cabin could be nearest.

Tip: Ideally, you want two aliens very far away from each

other and far from other cabins.

Cruise Captain

It’s a long trip across the Galaxy. Why

shouldn’t your passengers enjoy it? Add

some panoramic windows and you’ll be the trucker

everyone wants to ride with.

Count the number of occupied cabins with a

view. A cabin has a view if it has at least one

smooth side that is not adjacent to a component.

Notes: The smooth side can be adjacent to an empty

square, even one that is surrounded by components.

(Courtyard views aren’t as popular as exterior views, but

they still count.) Sometimes a cabin starts with no view

but gains a lovely view when another component is lost

during ight. Your starting cabin has connectors on all

four sides, so it will never have a view.

Master Engineer

You not only know how to build a big ship, but

also how to keep it in one piece for the entire

flight.

Count the number of components your ship

has.

Hint: It’s usually simpler to count the number of empty

spaces and see who has the least … unless the ight

was especially harsh.

Corridorist

You are a nonconformist – unconventional,

avant-garde. Some say you’re crazy, building

ships with such long corridors. Some say you’re cool.

Count your longest chain of corridor

components. A corridor component is

one with only 1 or 2 connectors.

Tip: One way to get a long corridor is to build a long

tentacle, but it might be even better to build a looping

corridor that connects to the rest of your ship on both

ends.

THE SECOND FLIGHT

Adventure cards used in the rst ight should be

removed from the game. You can return them to the

box. Set up for a level II ight in the usual way, with

an empty board and all components face down. The

only thing you keep from your rst ight is your title

and your credits.

Keep your title in the upper left corner of your ship

board, silver side up. On this ight, you will try to

defend your title.

At the end of the ight, instead of rewards

for the best-looking ship, all players who

successfully defended their title earn

4 credits. You have defended your title if you

completed the ight and have the highest score for

your title. (Count only ships that nished. Even if you

tie, you have defended.) You cannot earn credits for

other players’ titles. All players keep their titles, even

if they failed to defend.

All players who successfully defend their titles ip

them to the gold side. Players who failed to defend

keep the title on the silver side.

THE THIRD FLIGHT

Freight Hauler

Your ship now ofcially falls into “freighter”

category. Which means – more annoying

regulations. Congratulations!

If two cargo holds are adjacent to each

other, neither can hold cargo. This

restriction applies even if they are not

joined to each other. Of course, if one of the cargo holds

is lost during ight, the other suddenly becomes usable.

Power Trucker

The safety inspectors have been

investigating your overpowered ships, and

they have decided to write new wiring codes that apply

only to you.

You cannot have battery tokens in a

component that is directly joined to one

that requires energy (a double engine, a

double cannon, or a shield). For example, if a battery

component is joined to a double engine, it gets no

battery tokens before the ight.

Xenoquartermaster

You have done such a good job of catering to

aliens that your customers have become a bit spoiled. The

life support system must meet exacting specications.

Alien life support systems only

work if all their connectors match

exactly. So if one side of the

connection is a universal connector, the adjacent side

must also be a universal connector – otherwise the life

support system has no effect.

Cruise Captain

Because of your reputation for enjoyable

flights, many of your crew members are

actually tourists … and they have some safety concerns.

Each exposed connector reduces cabin

capacity by one. A cabin with one exposed

connector can hold one human astronaut; it

cannot hold an alien. A cabin with multiple exposed

connectors must be left empty. Furthermore, if a cabin

gets a new exposed connector during ight, give up one

crew member from that cabin regardless of whether it

is now over capacity. (Tourists are jumpy.)

Master Engineer

This time they think the challenge you’ve

taken is insurmountable. But imagine the

look on their faces when everything ts

together at the last moment… again.

During building, you cannot add

components until you have put 2 in

reserve. You will not add these reserved

components until everyone is done building. They aren’t

easy components, either – at least 5 sides must have

connectors. (That’s total, of course. We know the tiles

don’t have 5 sides.) You choose these components in

the usual way, by rummaging through the pile and

nding two to put in your reserve. You cannot add a

component to your ship until your reserve is full, and you

cannot use the components in your reserve during

building. Once everyone (including you) is done building,

show how cool you are by adding the two components

into the gaps you left in your ship. If you cannot, you

must pay a penalty for each unused tile: Pay 1 credit for

each side with a connector, then return the tile to the pile

on the table.

Corridorist

They told you not to build long corridors.

You laughed at them. Now karma itself is

out to get you.

When a corridor component is destroyed,

any corridor components joined to it fall off.

(This is not a chain reaction – “falling off” is

different from being “destroyed”.) Note that this does

not apply to components with connectors on three or

four sides.

Once again, return the used adventure cards to the

box and set up for the next ight – level III this time.

In the third ight, players who failed to defend their

title may try again.

Players who defended their title now have gold titles,

which give them an additional handicap. However,

anyone who successfully defends a gold title will earn

a double reward and earn their place in the Trucker

Hall of Fame.

Players attempt to defend their titles as

in the second flight. Anyone who

successfully defends a silver title gets

6credits.

Anyone who successfully defends a gold

title gets a double reward of 12credits.

WINNING THE TREK

After the third ight, players reveal how many credits

they have. As always, players who nish with credits

can consider themselves to be winners. On top of

that, you can consider yourself to be a legendary

Whatever-Your-Title-Is if you successfully defended

the gold side of your title.

The player with the most credits is acknowledged

as the Ultimate Trucker. There are no tiebreakers.

There is enough room in the Galaxy for more than

one Ultimate Trucker.

Thanks to: Playtesters of the original version, who helped us

to deliver our rst big game to players back in 2007, to our app

developing team who helped the game to enter the digital age,

and to all those brave truckers who hauled gazillions of cardboard

or virtual pipes through countless meteor swarms and combat

zones since then.

Special thanks to: Everyone at CGE who put so much effort to this

new, shiny version, especially Míša, Kuba, Finder, Jasoň, Kreten,

Víťa, Zvonda, Radek, Janča, Uhlík, David, Dávid, Lenka, and Tony.

And last but not least, to our new playtesting power, which we

didn’t have at our disposal when we created the rst version, that

is, our kids Lukáš, Terezka, Alenka, Hanička, Pavlík, Mára, Kačka,

Evelyn, Malachi, Otík, Markétka, Vendelín.

Rough Roads

The game might be very harsh to new truckers;

however, after few flights, you’ll get a handle on

things and really learn how to build better ships. Ones

that usually make it to the nish line unscratched and

with big prot. Then you might get nostalgic and look

back at those funny beginnings, when meteors and

pirates could blast your ship to pieces, making you

drift slowly to the nal destination with but a single

cabin component.

To take you back to these feelings, we proudly present

a free Rough Roads mini-expansion (available now,

only in a digital form).

This mini-expansion allows you to add one (or more)

Rough Road cards to your ights. These randomly

added cards not only give you new fresh challenges

– but you can bet that your ships will be falling apart

again, while tears of despair and joy return to your

eyes.

Rough Roads can be added to any single ight, and

also to the Transgalactic Trek. Just follow this link

and then the instructions.
