Last time I played this, one player went "I'll make a LINE SHIP so I'll dodge everything!" - first event was a big meteor from the side

[@jdmhexagon2584]

A moment that will live long in my heart: My friend built an astonishingly good ship in the final round, twice as big and twice as sturdy as anyone else at the table. We all cooed in appreciation. Then we (and he) realised it had precisely zero cargo space.

[@ShunyValdez]

They're just gonna be trucking but not hauling.

[@zeiphon]

[@lkyuvsad]

I often do this by accident. My son always has too much cargo space and not enough anything else. It is unclear whether either "strategy" is definitely bad.

Space Truckin! Yeah Yeah YEAH SPACE TRUCKIN! ;p

Tom saying “we don’t call them slay the spire likes” instead of “we don’t call them dominion likes” is the part of this video when I felt the oldest. Also we kinda did call them dominion likes for a while.

[@rakino4418]

We definitely still call them dominion-likes.

Galaxy Trucker Stories: - A ship bisected twice - Someone winning because people kept trying to invade their murder maze - All the batteries, no components to use them - That one guy who actually looks at the obstacles who everyone boos - Being told by their sibling to never present this game in front of them after their ship got bisected twice I love this horrible cruel game.

[@garbageboy8857]

At our table, the guy who looks at the obstacles announces big stuff to the table. Like "big meteors from the right." Which is great until that one time he lies and we all believe him and wasted all our space pointing guns at nothing.

[@WesDunnavant]

You modified your box when you attempted to break the record for most games reviewed in 10 minutes. But then Quinns did a flashback…and, well, the rest is history. 😁

[@philomorph7]

Sorry Matt - that engine placement at 5:25 is ILLEGAL and you *must* make your ship entirely legal before taking off. You would have had to remove it and all the pieces hanging off it. But thanks for another great video! GT is one of my favorites :)

[@killboypowrhed]

And you get more time than just the sand timer to build. Someone triggers the final minute once the build phase has started.

[@smokejaguar2211]

I really love this series. The deep dive on these games and extended discussion, with the slotting in of each one among the previous is so much more nuanced than other top 100 lists which speed through it with no real comparison with its neighbors. Slow and steady wins the race in this case. Thank you.

[@TheBoySpeaks]

It's crazy, my friends latched onto galaxy trucker from literally the first play, they absolutely love it and ask me to bring it to pretty much every game night. I personally think it's too chaotic, but I'm outvoted. Somehow it's a crowd pleaser like none other.

[@jedfromyourlocallibrary]

I appreciate SU&SD for having interesting conversations in the video, the website and the comments 😊

[@jasonpollak4629]

Did I miss the mention of the preview mechanic? Seeing what cards are in the flight forecast is EVERYTHING to making the game reward skill and experience. Galaxy trucker is my favorite game, so I’ve played it a lot. Since my 15th ish? Play, I haven’t lost a single time (probably 20-30+ plays.) That consistency shows to me that the game is only random at a low skill/ power level? But 15 plays is also a lot to ask for someone to fully “get” the game and how to truly make the most of its mechanics

[@brainydiode]

My biggest problem with Galaxy Trucker is that it is, in my opinion, more fun to be bad at the game than it is to be good at it, and for a long time it was my favorite game so I played it so much that I got good at it. Luckily I then got the Big Expansions and became bad at the game again.

[@Hapetiitti]

It's easy to scale the difficulty by changing the amount of time you have to work with. As a digital GT veteran, when I've played with new players I've given them a head start during which I keep my eyes closed. Works great, and for every possible skill level in one game!

[@shutupandsitdown]

Being bad at games is a choice: live your worst life!

[@TheSuperSausageDog]

The solution we've gone with to remain bad at the game is to drink heavily before playing, really revitalized it after we got too good

[@rabidfurify]

I suspect that the reason that I hate this game is that I know two people who are incredibly good at it (one of them regularly plays with handicaps like "must play blindfolded and direct a third party to pick up their pieces" and still often wins) and when one person is always ahead of the pack and doesn't suffer any major misfortunes the game stops being fun. But I also don't really see the point in a game where most of the gameplay is in a few minutes of frantic scrabbling and you then spend a while seeing what happens (I also don't particularly like Space Alert for similar reasons)

[@Hapetiitti]

@@rabidfurify That's too bad, because Space Alert is also one of my favorite games. The frantic scrabbling and yelling at each other (in good spirit) is really fun. The same also applies to games like Overcooked or PlateUp.

[@Battleturtleful]

Before Gloomhaven came out, I would have told you that Galaxy Trucker was my favourite board game ever made, its probably top 5 now, but its hard to place as I haven't played it recently. It was always fun, sure its a bit random, but you can prepare for it, the expansions add a good amount of additional things to prepare for to give that spice of having your ship blown to pieces back to veteran players who have mastered the base game. Its honestly more fun to lose at this game than to win, cheering on your single remaining crew member with a single engine and one useless battery just trying to get to the end.

[@davetalbert8387]

I just love this series so much. I feel like this series is the best non-review thing you've done since The Opener.

[@forestfilms7914]

Love this game dearly, nothing beats watching your ship get sliced in two by a meteorite.

[@FinetalPies]

Galaxy Trucker is one of 3 games in my collection that I got because of a SUSD review

[@kyleb8117]

I have the original and it's easily in my top 5 games of all time. Though it's larger, the 1st edition has the advantage of all those expansions (though I do want all the stuff in the 2nd as an expansion). Those expansions, in my eyes, add enough intrigue to make this an "every weekend" game. (Though, to be fair, I don't think a single game exists that I'd 100% want to play every single game session.) The Rough Roads expansion adds ways to handicap players like me who are comfortable with the game and give us new wrenches in the works to make it feel new again. One adds enemies that can board your ship and steal goods, set bombs, and kill crew (and you can fight back). The expansions also add in solar panels, mixed components, cryo pods, and all sorts of fun stuff to get confused over as well as other ship designs to have fun with. There's just so much to like and so much variety.

[@kyleb8117]

Also, I should probably mention that Quinns and Paul are why I got it in the first place. Thanks so much, SU&SD, for introducing me to this wonderful game (and my favorite game of all time: Archipelago).

[@seanfallon2271]

Galaxy Trucker is probably in my top 10 games of all time and I -would- pull it out every session if I could. I think the 'it's just chaos and unfair' is a bit overblown, you can absolutely get good enough at the game to reliably make it through even the incredibly random set of space cards, although once you add in every expansion and add-on that gets FAR more difficult.

[@ConManAU]

I agree, it becomes about learning how to build a ship that’s good enough to have a decent chance of making it to the finish line in approximately one piece, maybe with a little cargo. And also knowing when to flip the sand timers during the build phase so that everyone who’s trying to make the perfect ship starts panicking and making mistakes.

[@Kajotex]

First off, Matt, you SCOUNDREL! 6:35, you may only flip over a tile once you hove it over your player board. No turing just where they lay! And then, this is one of my absolute favorite games and one i always have to warn new players beforehand. "Look I don't know why, but apparently I'm very good at this game and will probably end up with thrice the points of you guys combined. But I can't help it somehow... But its really fun. Still want to play?" Most still say yes, luckily. And IF my hubris and arrogance turn my ship into mushed peas, I find it even more hilarious. Like a villain you just like to see fail.

[@Hapetiitti]

I've played hundreds of games on the app, so on the rare occasions I've got to play the physical board game _with_ new players, I've imposed a handicap on myself. Depending on the round, I give the other players x amount of time as a head start (on the 3rd round it might be a full hourglass) where I keep my eyes closed until my game starts. This handicap is easy to scale for different players in the same game, based on their individual amount of hubris. This brings back the tension, rush and mistake-making from my first games! And it's great, because as (I think) the manual states and as I fully believe, the game is much more fun when you're doing badly! Building a perfect ship in GT might be a fun goal to work towards, but once you finally achieve it, you realize the game just becomes boring 😅

[@adrienaline4894]

Thank you for saying it. I would've done otherwise. And even if it was legal, the engine would've destroyed the cargo hold. The one at 6.58 is also illegal with the gun pointing at the other gun.

[@NoPunIncluded]

When people talk about how amazing Galaxy Trucker is I get the same reaction that SUSD gets when people tell them about how amazing Deep Sea Adventure is.

[@sshrdlu]

Fortunately, you're both wrong! Those games rule!

[@bearhustler]

@@sshrdlu Yes, both spectacular.

[@GrevMarkussen]

Galaxy Trucker is perhaps my favourite game to lose. And an amazing story maker: My favourite, was this one time where my big phase 3 ship got so damaged, it only had three pieces left: A single guy in a luxury cabin, an engine, and a gun. And I was like: "Well, this is a ship! 💪🏻" Later I also lost the engine - but as there were no "Open space" events after that, he got home by inertia. Everyone clapped (as I lost badly on points).

[@robt8396]

Another brilliant video by the SU&SD crew. I’ve never played Galaxy Trucker but I really, really want to now.

[@Semicolon42]

18:50 aren't the other pieces still connected even after losing that open connected piece? The life support on the bottom should still connect everything. Anyway, love the game, love your discussion. It's not about being the best at the game, it is about seeing who survives the chaos. I love it.

[@jokerES2]

Looks like the case to me. There are two horizontal connectors right above each other so that one strike should not have taken out the whole left side.

[@Piideri]

This game is one of those that is so much better when a computer does all the setup and rule checking. I play it on my phone all the time. I do not have to setup anything, count anything or figure out if I broke a rule. Makes it so much easier in games like this where you would get down time and confusion if you had a human dealer.

I saw many rules violations in this video haha but I agree it is a fun game! I won't be the guy who highlights all of the things :P

[@LauraDelvecchio]

Hahaha fair play, however may I ask what the violations were? (coming from a person who's interested in playing GT but has never had the opportunity to) that way, you aren't highlighting the violations, but instead are answering a question a fellow viewer had :D

[@xCriticalStrikex]

@LauraDelvecchio off the top of my head (since it was a while since I watched) You cannot place a tile directly in the space in front of a gun, or behind an engine. When his ship got hit he took off way more of his ship than he should have since it was legally connected. When moving backwards on the race board you never share spaces and should jump over other people.... etc etc 😀

[@LauraDelvecchio]

@@xCriticalStrikex hahaha what a great memory! Thank you for the clarifications! This game looks incredibly fun lol at least looking at it from the outside. Appreciate your reply!

[@misterb.9907]

[@Kaerugreen]

For my birthday I went to the game store and just picked up a random game that looked interesting, "Fit to Print" (not knowing the full mechanics). I was surprised to find out the gameplay was a LOT like Galaxy Trucker. Played it tonight with my wife and we had a blast! Then I log on here to check out my sub videos and see this video posted!! :D

[@ChiefBlueScreen]

Pictomania (also by Vlaada Chvatil) has been pulled out at our parties lately, and it hits that same magic in relation to the timer mechanic. Having all players in control of how long the round takes is a huge factor in determining your strategy. In both Pictomania and Galaxy Truckers, I've seen players take the most minimalistic actions possible just so they can take the "first" award and get more points. And equally so, they're not always punished for doing something like that. Everyone, on average, ends up taking home the same number of points. The fast/risky player loses some, but not all of their points, and the slow player ensures that every point they take in, they never give up.

[@ChiefBlueScreen]

Except that one game of Galaxy Trucker where we pulled "explosive cargo" rough roads, but my cargo never actually blew up. A classic of all time!

[@Henning373]

Nothing goes with Galaxy Trucker quite like a Music 2000 Reference.

[@RandomEncounterFilms]

So it was you who suggested i buy this game those many years ago. And it was the BEST PURCHASE I'VE EVER MADE. I bought the big box with many expansions. I have literally played this for hundreds of hours. It's been a hit every time i open the box. I normally play without the timer during construction and we home rule ship rebuilding at the cost of starting position. In exchange i add extra cards to the adventure deck. I remember getting level 4 missions with level 1 ships! Some of us even survived! Oh it's great fun.

[@bmanagement4657]

Same here, but my wife and i have played it like 20 times and backed off to keep it fresh and fun.

[@stoopkid7134]

[@hudeduge9240]

A true modern classic. Bring back Vlaada! Also, there is no such thing as a boring round of GT. My favourite card event is always Open Space. A glint seems to appear in everyones eyes as they rev their engines. It is a feeling of "hey lets see what this baby can do" as everyone powers their engines.

[@Fidtz]

We play this fairly regularly, it is good fun, should not be taken seriously.

[@andrewstewart7078]

Our local game group did a "best games that people hate" list and this was up there with Ticket to Ride (which is understandable) and Shifty Eyed Spies (which is heresy - it's not the designer's fault that boardgamers dislike eye contact!)

[@robertthurman9866]

It consists of two separate parts. Both highly luck based. That does not mean it can not be fun to play. The good thing is that it is so fun and silly you don't feel too bad when you lose. Classic beer and pretzels game. Great after a long day of WotR.

I played it once, and while i enjoyed myself, ive never felt a craving to play it ever again. Escape is my go to real time game.

[@GPlewright]

The game is skill based, you will get better at building ships that can survive their journey into space the more you play.

[@camipco]

For sure, there's plenty of skill. But like poker, it has the feature that even the most skilled player ever will just get completely wrecked occasionally by a bad beat. And, unlike poker, it has the feature that when you are a skilled player and that happens to you it's always hilarious.

[@DeJogoemJogo]

This game is one I being wanting to play so for so long!

[@littlemonztergaming8665]

Galaxy Trucker is one of the first games I got from this channel, it bounced off a lot of friends that only played Uno & party games. But I still had a lot of fun introducing new people to it, it went pretty well with my D&D group but they never really wanted to play it again over other games sadly. It has a pretty great pitch of a spacey jigsaw puzzle that you need to finish fast. It is a great Tabletop Sim game though, fits the niche of mostly focusing on your board with light interaction w/ other players.

[@uhhhclem]

When someone finds out I like games and asks me what my favorite is, an impossible question, this is the one I pick. It's so weird and funny and chaotic. Also, it has an _extremely_ high skill ceiling. If you play it every week instead of every year, you get to a point where someone getting pasted is pretty rare. The game's expansions are mostly about making the game harder, because if you've played the game enough that you feel like adding an expansion, you're probably not getting wrecked very often. The expansions sure fix _that_ glitch.

[@bbqturtle]

The one thing about galaxy trucker that kills it for me is that App is more fun, faster, more dynamic, with fun challenges etc, that I never have a desire to play the physical version again

[@TheAush22]

Galaxy Trucker is in my top 10. Adooooooore this game!

[@AndreasVNesje]

For this game to go from good to great, I recommend two things: The BIG EXPANSION that adds a completely silly difficulty level, and a lot of alcohol.

Rules lawyer must speak! Matt! You can’t have one of the cannons installed without a free space in front of it! You are firing into your own ship! Same as the thrusters have to have an empty space behind them too. They’re both fine to be in the middle of a ship, but they constrain your design if they aren’t at the outside of your haphazard amalgamation. Have we any thoughts on the expansion for this as well?

Did y'all not mention the forecasts system? I think it's so important and oftentimes very overlooked!

And it makes for both a more predictable time, but also a more chaotic one has all players are fighting over the same pieces to grab from the pool!

[@Feralzen]

Galaxy Trucker is a game that teaches you humility 😂

[@qba919]

In my opinion, Galaxy Trucker is even better with a house rule that you don't lose during the flight. Instead, your crewless, engineless husk can still make it to the end. It just eliminates the "feels bad" moments, and generates some laughs when an autonomous drone with some guns manages to earn more than a great spaceship with everything in it... beside cargo units.

[@CarpeGuitarrem]

That's how it was taught to me--I haven't checked what the rulebook says on the story, but I was pretty sure that's what happens. You just don't make money off of it because you took forever to get there.

[@demonicgrub1025]

I love galaxy trucker. Its one of my favorite games to just kill an hour with. What I will say, is that the game gets worse when you get better at it. Once you really stop making construction errors when you put your ship together, things tend to be a lot less wild and exciting. The best experiences in this game are when someone makes a seemingly small mistake, says, oh well, it'll probably be fine, and then rolls into their destination with 2 pieces left. I've started making my runs harder, taking 10-12 encounter cards instead of the standard 8, just to make it more likely that someone gets blown to pieces.

I enjoy winning as much as anyone, of course, but in this one I kind a wish I didn't. So nowadays what I do is introduce it to other people, and to achieve some losses I engage in wacky stuff (without letting the rest of the table know I'm handicapping myself), like never looking at the upcoming events, or going for "no x thing in the ship" or whatever
