Galazy Trucker is a tile laying game that happens in two phases: Building and Flying. During the build phase, players grab face-down tiles from a communal pile in real time, grabbing what they can before the timer runs out. Players can return unwanted tiles to the pile, face-up, for others to potentially take. Otherwise, the tiles must be placed so that they connect legally to their spaceship. Once building is complete and ships have been checked for errors, the flying phase begins. A deck of cards is shuffled and players interact with them one by one, using the resources they have on their ship from the building phase. After the flight cards are all encontered, players sell off the goods they transported on their ship and earn credits, plus rewards for fininshing first, second, or third, or having the most intact ship. This is done for 3 total rounds, with each round players getting a bigger board to build their ship. At the end of the third round, the player with the most points wins!
