Amazing game, super fun to play even solo, but I came across a pretty big glitch regarding the new Alien Presents mission. I don't have Alien Technologies, but I somehow selected the Alien Presents mission and the selection registered and saved. However, now my game crashes whenever I do anything in the "New Mission" tab. I can't switch mission to either of the vanilla missions (Doubles and Batteries or the normal presents mission), since that crashes the game, and I can't even hit the X button because that crashes the game too! The deck selection is missing, likely because there are no decks available without buying the expansion, and I can't start an Alien Presents game, since even that crashes the game. Everything else appears to remain functional, and I'm playing my vanilla turn-based games without any problems. I can even start new non-mission games!Still, I don't want to wait ten days for the mission to expire. Could I have some help getting off this mission?Edit: LOL I CAN JOIN OTHER ALIEN PRESENTS GAMES AND ONE OF THEM STARTED have fun patching this out

If you're a fan of the board game you'll love this app which faithfully reproduces the board game experience. If you haven't played it before, you're in for a treat. Galaxy Trucker is actually two games in one. First is a puzzle-like building game where you draw tiles to assemble your space ship. Selecting cabins, engines, cargo holds, lasers, shields, and other components you try to place them within a framework that let's you connect them together to create a functional ship.Second you fly your new ship in a race against others through adventure cards that bring everything from cargo and salvage opportunities to pirates and meteors.The captain that gains the most money from his trip (for various things including cargo and finishing first) wins.Regardless of who wins, a good time can be had by all, if you can keep your ship together and flying in the face of adversity.Lots of fun!!! Solo campaign or online against others. Real time or asynchronous play!Only one thing I wish they'd add is the ability to password lock when creating a game online so only friends can join or the ability to invite specific friends. As it is now when you create a game anyone in the lobby can join. I just want to play with my friends. Please fix this!

It's difficult to port a board game to a computer gracefully, especially one that takes as much table space as Galaxy Trucker. And, to be sure, there are a few things that didn't make it in (matter converter, stasis pods, Rough Roads, etc.) On the other hand, there are things in the electronic version that aren't in the paper version.More importantly, though, is that the programming, user interface, and game play are truly extraordinary. It even runs (well!) on an original iPad. The user interface is fun, makes sense, feels like playing the board game, but doesn't get in your way. It's just as easy to call up reminders for bits you're not sure of as it is to speed up bits you've seen already. Easily the most well-made app I've ever used on an iWhatsis.

Galaxy Trucker is a fantastic adaptation to what was already a gem of a boardgame in which players simultaneously scramble to build spaceships from a group of face down tiles enforce flying them through a set of encounters finding cargo, fighting pirates and flying through meteor swarms.The star of the game is definitely the building though. Each tile that you use to build represents a spaceship part such as engines, weapons, power cells, cargo containers, shields plus more. The app handles this mechanic beautifully and adds even more great features such as a single player campaign and a humorous tutorial.There is so much high quality fun in this app, for 5$ at its introductory price, Galaxy Trucker is an absolute STEAL.
