Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess Twist at none against Galaxy Trucker's 1. Chess Twist also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Galaxy Trucker's advantage is ratings volume (209 vs 1) and price ($4.99 vs $6.99). On ads there is nothing between them.
