Galaxy Trucker

Galaxy Trucker is a space strategy game available on Android devices. It was developed by the Czech Games Edition studio.

The game is an adaptation of the Czech board game, the first edition of which debuted in 2007. The action takes place in the distant future, at a time when humanity has colonized countless planetary systems. The problem is that this empire is so vast that many of its provinces are too far away for traditional trade to be profitable. Nevertheless, the colonists still need cheap houses and sewage systems, which is why Corporation Incorporated has been established. Its bosses came up with an unusual idea. As standard material transport is too expensive, they decided instead to start building ships consisting of transported goods. Such structures form unusual clusters of pipes, rooms, and raw materials - thanks to this, costs have been significantly reduced.

Galaxy Trucker is divided into two phases. The first one involves the construction of the ship. Players need to arrange the goods transported in such a way that the unit can survive the journey, which is not easy, as the expeditions are full of various threats, such as the meteorites and pirates' attacks. The next phase focuses on the flight itself, and players nervously observe whether it is possible to achieve the goal or whether the mistakes they made in the form of weak points will prove tragic for the ship.

Players can choose to play single scenarios or an extensive story campaign in which they use the profits from successful expeditions to develop their character and ship. There is also a multiplayer mode, where the construction phase can take place in real time or in turn-based manner - the latter method has been specifically designed to facilitate online competition.
