Galaxy Trucker: The Big Expansion

From BoardgameNews.com: Spiel '08 will see a new truckload of interstellar destruction with Galaxy Trucker: The Big Expansion . As is often the case with expansions, The Big Expansion includes a number of mix-and-match components: Pieces and rules for five-player games. An updated version of Rough Road Ahead, a set of cards previously released in a downloadable format on the Czech Games website that will be expanded and reformatted. Additional adventure cards, including two previously available only at Spiel 07. A special deck of adventure cards that players individually insert into the deck themselves to surprise their fellow drivers. A new alien species. New ship building components, including life support for the new ET. New ship classes. The expansion is not fully compatible with the first edition of Galaxy Trucker , due to component differences. A compatibility kit has been produced, containing replacement components for the base game, but as of March 2009 it is not yet widely available.
