Galaxy Trucker: The Big Expansion, Coming from Czech Games Edition

One of the best mixes of fun and game play at Spiel 07 was Galaxy Trucker from Vlaada Chvatil and Czech Games Edition. Spiel 08 will see a new truckload of interstellar destruction with Galaxy Trucker: The Big Expansion. As is often the case with expansions, The Big Expansion includes a number of mix-and-match components:

  • Pieces and rules for five-player games.
  • An updated version of Rough Road Ahead, a set of cards previously released in a downloadable format on the Czech Games website that will be expanded and reformatted.
  • Additional adventure cards, including two previously available only at Spiel 07.
  • A special deck of adventure cards that players individually insert into the deck themselves to surprise their fellow drivers.
  • A new alien species.
  • New ship building components, including life support for the new ET.
  • New ship classes, such as the Class IIA pictured below.

Boardgame News will showcase a new card from the expanded Rough Road Ahead each Saturday, starting tomorrow August 30. A more detailed game preview will be published sometime prior to Spiel 08. No word yet on the cost or whether preorders will be taken or required.

I am so there. So will anyone bring one home from Essen for me?

I can’t wait!  This is my most anticipated item of Essen 2008.

And RGG is bringing it to our shores, right?!?  Please?

Rob, nothing to announce on whether the expansion might make it to the U.S., but the main set is on the way to American shores and should arrive soon, according to CGE.
