Galaxy Trucker!?

Did I just see Steve Avery use the words "compelling" and "delighted" in the same post?

BTW- what happened to that porno clown avatar you had? It was much more representative of the Steve Avery experience than that one you have now.

I know that the Porno Clown picture was taken from your private collection. I thought we were keeping the Porno Clown Posse Party our dirty little secret. At the very least, you should have edited Rob Martin out of the picture....

BTW...Last day of school BIYATCH! I breaking out the rum and tanktops...

Okay, it took some time for me to play this (don't have a copy), but Galaxy Trucker is innovative and fun! It should be available in the USA this summer, so check it out.

I played it recently as well...and I'll be damned, it's really good! It is pretty innovative, and there's more game there then you may think- a lot more game than SPACE DEALER.

It's a puzzle, definitely, but there's a strong strategic element that's made interesting by having to think on the fly. It's not totally interactive, but it doesn't really need to be for what it is.

I like the feeling of slapping together a ship and throwing it to fate to see how long it takes for the thing to fall apart...it's a fun theme and it totally works.

Main drawback- it's WAY too expensive for what it is. At $35, this would be a must-have. At $70, play before you buy and only if you feel like playing a friend's copy isn't enough.

It gave me an amazing idea for a game that I won't tell you about...

That's probably the price you pay for an imported game. $70 is really too expensive for this game. The game is sold at €35 here in Germany, which is a fair price.

Is it Game Z? I hear that game is so awesome you'll never masturbate again.

Yeah, there's not any games out there that I want right now, besides maybe this one. But 70$ is just too much.

Told you. Vlaada Chvatil is God. Possibly the best designer around now, save perhaps for Serge Laget. Both are doing stuff that is totally on a different wavelength from everyone else.

Except for that Grunland game. It is like Settlers except you repeatedly vote on who gets resources. Repeatedly.
