Space is a rough place if you don\u2019t prepare though. Be sure you have enough room for your cargo and crew\u2026 and gun power enough to stave off space pirates! If you survive, the trucker with the most cosmic credits comes out on top.\r\n<h3>From the publisher:<\/h3>\r\n<blockquote><em>In a galaxy far, far away\u2026 they need sewer systems, too. Corporation Incorporated builds them. Everyone knows their drivers &#8211; the brave men and women who fear no danger and would, if the pay was good enough, even fly through hell.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<em>\r\nNow you can join them. You will gain access to prefabricated spaceship components cleverly made from sewer pipes. Can you build a space ship durable enough to weather storms of meteors? Armed enough to defend against pirates? Big enough to carry a large crew and valuable cargo? Fast enough to get there first?<\/em>\r\n\r\n<em>\r\nOf course you can. Become a Galaxy Trucker.\r\nIt&#8217;s loads of fun.<\/em>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right\">\u2014 Rio Grande Games<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nIf you like Galaxy Trucker, you may also enjoy these titles, also available at UNT Media Library:\r\n<table class=\"table\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/iii.library.unt.edu\/record=b4431171~S6\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.library.unt.edu\/media\/covers\/Boardgames\/boardgame38.jpg\" alt=\"Guillotine box cover\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/iii.library.unt.edu\/record=b5078782~S6\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.library.unt.edu\/media\/covers\/Boardgames\/boardgame158.jpg\" alt=\"Smash Up box cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/iii.library.unt.edu\/record=b5431796~S6\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.library.unt.edu\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2015\/10\/Castles-of-Burgundy.jpg\" alt=\"The Castles of Burgundy box cover\" width=\"179\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">\r\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/iii.library.unt.edu\/record=b4431171~S6\">Guillotine, Boardgame 38<\/a><\/h4>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">\r\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/iii.library.unt.edu\/record=b5078782~S6\">Smash Up, Boardgame 158<\/a><\/h4>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">\r\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/iii.library.unt.edu\/record=b5431796~S6\"> The Castles of Burgundy, Boardgame 256<\/a><\/h4>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every Tuesday, UNT Media Library highlights a title from their growing collection of tabletop games.
