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.

Turn notifications finally seem fixed so increased review to 3. Will increase to five when I know I can opt out of notifications for new missions. Takes five steps at a minimum once a week to clear them. Extraordinarily annoying. Every week a new mission I don't care about that I should be and to opt out of and I'm never notified of my turn on games. Had never played but love the game. Disappointing that I get constant notifications from the system about new missions the I'm not interested in (should be able to opt out). Asynchronous where notifications mean it's my turn and nothing else (no "new mission unlocked") like I get successfully in agricola, Carcassonne, waterdeep, ascension and etc. Would give five stars otherwise.

CGE has come through big for early adopters, and the new version of Galaxy Trucker works on iPad 1 devices now, though it is still a bit crash-prone as it uses every bit of the old machine’s innards to function.I’ve developed a few habits to ensure a smooth(er) experience in running the game:- Close all other apps before launching GT.- If you're getting crashes at startup, close down all apps (including GT) and power down the iPad by holding the power button for a few seconds. Power back up and try again.- At the main screen, wait until the planet starts spinning before selecting a game mode- If it crashes at other times, try starting the app back up by launching from the Home Screen. If it still crashes, quit the app then relaunch. Power down and restart if necessary.- Putting the iPad to sleep while GT is running has a tendency to destabilize things. When done playing GT, select Save & Quit from the menu, then quit the app from the home screen.

The developers did almost everything right here. The game plays smoothly. The words are large, and easy to read. The sound effects are good. I could go on and on. So why only two stars from me? There is no turn-based option in the Campaign game or in the Alien Technologies game. You are forced to play real-time games, at least at the start. I hate that. I’m not a teenager any more. I don’t have the reflexes that I used to have. I need time to think. I paid for this game, but I am denied time to think.There is no good reason for that. So I am shut out of those games. That’s just wrong.On edit: I’ve played many more games of Galaxy Trucker. The Custom Game with the Alien Technology expansion is magnificent. You are presented with all sorts of starting options to pick from. There is no better word to describe that. It is magnificent.But unfortunately I must still rate this game two stars overall. As I mentioned previously, for no good reason I'm being forced to play real-time in the Campaign game and in the Alien Technologies game. Fix this flaw, and Galaxy Trucker is a true five-star gem.

This is quite possibly the best board game-to-iOS conversions ever. Which seems odd since it seems like such unlikely target.Galaxy Trucker, aka "demolition derby in space", is an entertaining and humorous game in which the players frantically grab pieces to build rickety spaceships they hope will make it to the end of a random obstacle course.Somehow, this app manages to bring that gameplay onto your deceives. But not only that, but it also adds a cunning single-player campaign and a turn-based version of the rules that work beautifully for longer games.There are only two minor problems preventing this from being the perfect app.1. There are a few issues with longer term online games corrupting themselves. Though much improved from the original release some problems remain.2. Where are the expansions? I want my Invincible armor, rough roads, and blue aliens.

It's 2 games in 1. The first game is the fun and fast paced designing of a spaceship - with limited resources. You never get to build exactly what you wanted, but then you roll the dice and see how your spur-of-moment (imperfect) design stands up to random galactic adventures. Galaxy Trucker is highly addicting, and it's so nice to see a quality game without pay-to-win micro transactions. No "bag of gems" to buy in this game. Just a lot of fun with winsome humor and addictive gameplay. Have fun!

I have been enjoying this game in single player and multiplayer mode for days now and have to say that this is the most fun I have had on the iPad. Other game companies could learn from your well thought out use of space. Please do more board/card game adaptations! I don't normally pay for games but this was well worth it. You should advise Steve Jackson games. Both games have great humor but you are the best by far on the iPad! Thanks again for a great game!
