Hello Truckers!
Big thanks to everyone who took part in our annual Board Games Delivery Mission – we hope that you enjoyed hauling all these colorful boxes across the galaxy :) And of course, congratulations to Dudkus, Lealuna, and Teufelted, our randomly selected winners who helped us deliver our games across the galaxy!

Hello, brave truckers!
Our annual Board Games Delivery multiplayer mission starts today! Even though Tabletop Day isn't an option this year, you can still join us and help us deliver our board games across the galaxy.
Three lucky truckers that deliver the game boxes safely will also win a physical copy of one of our board games.
The winners will be announced on May 4th, so start your engines and good luck!
Hold on, trucker.
Did you hear that? Huh, I guess it was just some rocks along the way. They say this ship is haunted, you know. Methinks it's because of all the toxic cargo we're hauling in the holds. Keep your wits about you, trucker, and ignore the howling coming from the ship. It's definitely not ghosts, don't be silly! Ghosts don't exist, of course.
Just keep on truckin' and watch out for those abandoned ships littering the empty space in our traditional Halloween mission! Don't get caught in a fight between the other kids trying to get more treats than you!
Once again, you can enjoy special "Board Games Delivery" multiplayer mission to celebrate International Tabletop Day.
Join us to deliver precious boxes full of gaming goodness across the galaxy!Three lucky winners will get one of the board games they delivered.
The mission will be available from Friday to Monday, but to give chance also to the players who prefer turn-based games, the winners will be determined from all games finished until end of the week.

We have chosen the five most played multiplayer missions of the year and are giving them as a small Christmas present. From the 22nd December, any of these five multiplayer missions can be played all week long!
We'd also like to take this opportunity to wish you the best for the festive season and hope that 2016 is full of joy.
We have more to come for you next year!
Maybe some of you have just seen a movie about the fate of the galaxy. But how about meeting online to actually decide the fate of the galaxy yourselves?
Realtime games and missions played from December 17 to December 20 grant more experience: 2x for 2-player games, 2.5x for 3-players and 3x for 4-players.
May the force be with you!
We know you have a blast with Multiplayer Missions! We are playing them with you, too, and we have heard from you, there's just so much good stuff appearing quite quickly to enjoy all of it, especially in the turn-based games, where you can play various missions at once.
We have decided that new missions will now appear every three days instead of just two days, so you have more time to enjoy it and find the best tactics.
Also, the most popular missions will be appearing again, some of them with slight variations of rules or rewards. It's like seeing old friends... and pirates... and aliens... :)
Note for Achievement hunters - if the same mission repeats, it counts as a different mission for Mission Specialist achievements.
Galaxy Truckers now speak spanish, french and polish! Hurray!
Plus, we fixed some more bugs. Hurray again!
Each missions had its own rules, offering new possibilities of how to play the game. And do you remember those fantastic explosive, radioactive, heavy and fragile cargo components from campaign? - Now you can play with them in multiplayer with your friends!
Every 2 days, there will be new challenging mission ready for you to explore! Some missions just slightly alter the rules, but some really test your abilities - you have to take risks, face massive destruction and invent new approach for every mission.
Start a new mission by tapping the New Mission button in the online lobby, or join one. Don't forget to read the mission rules! :) And show other truckers who is the best, most adaptive trucker in this part of the universe!
Let's celebrate the game is now in German and Russian languages by a week of realtime playing!
Any real-time game started from now until Jun 2nd grants you more experience! 1.5x for two player games, 2x for three player games, 2.5x for four player games!
Have a good flight :)
Welcome our Russian and German friends!
In the last update we implemented localization to German and Russian. Welcome new players or change your language to your native. If you don't update, you might see question marks in names of new truckers, game titles or in chat.
Today, Galaxy Trucker has also launched on Windows Phone. Yeah, that means... fresh meat in multiplayer! Give a warm welcome to all the new players:
Any game started from now until the end of April will grant you twice as much experience, as long as at least one player of rank 1-5 is included.
Good news: iPhone players can safely play real-time games with iPad and Android players now. Yay!
We apologize it took us this long; there were some other space bugs crawling the pipes of multiplayer ships. Some of them were really sneaky and malicious, but our heroic team hunted them relentlessly over the past weeks, and we believe the fight was victorious. We apologize if these bugs chewed up some of your games. Most of the games in progress and all the new games should be safe now.
There were also some other minor bug fixes, the multiplayer lobby performance was improved, and generally, the galaxy should be a sunnier and happier place to go trucking.
A new feature: In turn based games, it is now possible to take a look at the known cards, even during the flight.
That's right! We play Galaxy Trucker too, and we know that especially in asynchronous games, it is impossible to remember the cards you have seen and thus you cannot use this knowledge to make the right decisions during the flight. Not anymore! Tap the eye icon next to the cards pile during the flight to check what cards you have seen are still remaining in the deck!
Note: This does not apply for real-time games. In real-time building, looking at cards is part of the stress - it is up to you to decide whether to spend your time trying to memorize them, or just to peek at them, or ignore them completely. And real-time games are not played asynchronously anyway.
