Game Details

Space Freight is an exhilarating board game where you step into the role of a space freighter captain, exploring the vast expanse of unknown space in search of fortune. As you navigate the cold black of the 'verse, you'll mine ore, salvage debris, trade and influence markets, complete missions, and confront the temptation of space piracy to amass your wealth in gold. In this fast-paced game for 2-5 players, each captain takes two actions per turn, moving their ships between their base, space, planets, and trading ports. You'll mine, salvage, swap, and trade resources, all while managing the limitations of your crew. Expand your capabilities by recruiting new crew members, gain advantages with rare officers, and execute powerful turns with boosts. The game concludes when all the gold is in player storage, so you'll need to race to complete missions, trade for gold at the exchange, and leverage your crew and boosts to outmaneuver your opponents and engage in space piracy. A typical game lasts about 15 minutes per player, ensuring a unique experience every time. Space Freight combines worker placement, deck building, pick-up and delivery, missions, and a dynamic trading exchange based on dice values to create a rich and engaging gameplay experience.
