### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-03, version 3.6.916*

Awesome campaign.

### 5/5 — Great fun!

*2025-08-16, version 3.6.900*

A remarkably good version of this fun game!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2025-08-01, version 3.6.900*

Great adaption, super fun!!

### 5/5 — Důstojné zpracování stolní verze a

*2025-03-24, version 3.6.882*

Miluji hry Vládi Chvátila a mám jich hodně a tato verze je hratelná i pro mé osmileté děti, navíc má bezvadnou kampaň pro jednoho hráče a jde sdílet v rodinném sdílení ... co dodat . No nekup to za ty prachy!

### 2/5 — Not playable in landscape on iPad Pro

*2025-02-06, version 3.6.882*

Please add orientation support so I can play. Seems a nice game otherwise, but I cannot play in this orientation. Thank you.

### 2/5 — No turn-based option

*2024-09-20, version 3.6.852*

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.

*2024-05-11, version 3.6.843*

This is a smooth implementation of a great board game, with a single player campaign that they clearly put a lot of work into!

### 5/5 — So good.

*2024-03-05, version 3.6.811*

Just as fun as the board game, and the campaign is nice edition.
