The Galaxy Trucker App is a digital representation of the board game. It has a solo campaign and online as well as pass and play modes.

Galaxy Trucker App Description:

Galaxy Trucker is a fun, chaotic, real-time board game. But how does that translate to the digital version of the game? If you are reading this post and don’t know the basic game play of the board game, you should read my overview and review of it here. This post is going to focus on the Galaxy Trucker app and how it differs the original analog version.

For the most part the app is a lot like the board game. But like I mentioned in the intro there is a solo campaign. You fly from planet to planet and meet new people that need you to haul something to another planet. This opens up a bunch of new planets and lets you try out different size ships.

The other major difference is the turn-based mode. You can play normally and frantically grab from a pile of tiles or use turn-based mode. This mode is used for pass and play and may be used for online play. It lets you build your ship at a slower pace. Each turn you have 9 action points. You can spend these to look at new tiles, attach any revealed tiles to your ship, store a tile for later use or look at some of the event cards for your trip. You can even carry up to 3 action points into the next round. After you’ve spent or banked your points your turn is over and you opponent gets their chance to build with their action points.

The one minor difference is there are a bunch of achievements to unlock.

Quick Review of Galaxy Trucker App:

The digital version of Galaxy Trucker is pretty amazing. It captures the feel and intensity of the board game very well and is one of the best board game ports I have played.

The campaign mode is great and filled with the same fun spirit from the board game. The AI seems pretty balanced and the turn-based mode is ingenious.

You can play across different systems including iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle or a Windows Phone.

If you enjoy the Galaxy Trucker board game you should pick the digital version up too.
