合作有限公司是一間在低度開發星球上專門建設下水道系統及低收入住宅的星際營造公司。多年以來，這家公司都在破產邊緣掙扎：將他們需要的建材運送到銀河邊緣的星球是件高風險的事。
幾位有遠見的董事的新構想將拯救這家公司，他們想到，與其將建材運到銀河邊境，為什麼不把建材造成太空船，讓它們自已運送自已呢？
更進一步地思考，為什麼不僱用一些願意免費工作的瘋狂駕駛員呢？
這就是為何你在這裡的原因，你剛簽好了合約，並得到了可以自由使用公司艙庫的權限。
從這些建材裡建造你自已的太空船並將它開到銀河邊境的星球去，當然，你也得承擔一些損失的風險。
這趟旅途中所得的收益也都歸你個人所有，如果你提前運達合作公司也會付你一筆紅利獎金。
但有可能最後你會負債累累淪落為戴尼比III號星上面的乞丐，不過若幸運女神眷顧你的話，你或許也可能成為億萬富翁中的一員也不一定喔！

In a galaxy far, far away… they need sewer systems, too. Corporation Incorporated builds them. Everyone knows their drivers — the brave men and women who fear no danger and would, if the pay was good enough, even fly through Hell.
Now 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?
Of course you can. Become a Galaxy Trucker. It’s loads of fun.
Galaxy Trucker is a tile laying game that plays out over two phases: building and flying. The goal is to have the most credits at the end of the game. You can earn credits by delivering goods, defeating pirates, building an efficient ship, and being the furthest along the track at the end of the flying phase.
Building happens in real time and has players build their personal space ships by grabbing tiles from the middle of the table before the timer runs out. Tiles start out facedown so they won’t know what they have until they take it, but they may choose to return it faceup if they don’t want it. They must place the tiles they keep in a legal manner in their space ship. Usually this just means lining up the connectors appropriately (single to single, double to double, universal to anything) but also includes proper positioning of guns and engines. Tiles represent a variety of things including guns, engines, storage containers, crew cabins, shields, and batteries. They may also peek at the cards they will encounter in phase 2, but they must sacrifice building time to do this. At any time players may call their ships finished and take an order marker from the center.
Once building is completed, and ships have been checked for errors, the flight begins. The flight cards are shuffled and player markers are placed on the flight board according to the order markers taken. Cards are revealed one at a time and players interact with them in order. They may include things such as pirates, abandoned vessels, disease outbreaks, meteor showers, worlds with goods to pick up, player-on-player combat zones, and other various things.
Most of the cards will cause players to move back on the flight track and they must decide if the delay is worth their efforts. When all the cards are encountered players sell any goods they have collected, collect their rewards for finishing in first, second, or third place or having the most intact ship, and then lose some credits for damaged components. Space can be a very dangerous place and it is not uncommon to see your ship break into smaller and smaller pieces or lose some very valuable cargo off the side. If your ship gets damaged too much you can get knocked out of the race, so be careful!
3 rounds of this are done, and in each round players get a bigger board to build a ship that can hold more components. After the 3rd round the player with the most credits wins!
