ABOUT GALAXY TRUCKER: DO WHAT?!

Galaxy Trucker: Do What!? is the second expansion for the relaunched Galaxy Trucker—a delightfully chaotic game for 2 to 4 players.

This expansion features two big modules:

  • Missions will challenge you to deliver various types of hazardous cargo (radioactive bananas, anyone?), deal with nasty Supercards, or give you another insane objective.
  • Brand-new VIP Astronauts will toss cash at you for complying with their diva-like whims (“Is this cabin Feng Shui?”). And some of them have pretty cool, unique abilities!

Don’t appreciate the panic sweats when building your ship? Easily switch to Turn-Based Mode. Mix, match, and buckle up for even more unpredictable fun!

ABOUT WISPWOOD

The forest is full of lights—wisps from the old tales! They lure a curious cat, drawn in by their whimsical ways…

Wispwood is a family tile-laying game exploring a magical forest of bright-colored wisps. They each have their wishes and reward you for fulfilling them. Can you place your wisps the best and illuminate the brightest forest for your cat?

In Wispwood, you’ll

  • Choose from a display of wisp tiles with different spatial goals
  • Combine tiles to form polyomino shapes and create your forest
  • Find the best place for the colorful wisps to shine the brightest
  • Build upon your placements of previous wisps from round to round

ABOUT SETI: SPACE AGENCIES

Re-think your approach to the search for alien life with new asymmetric organizations!

As the leader of one of these institutions—each with unique abilities and starting conditions—you’ll uncover new strategies that reshape the game experience.

Encounter three new alien species, each with their own unique twists, and add over 40 new project cards that seamlessly integrate into the main deck. Quick Start cards, designed for use with the organizations, let you skip the slower opening round and dive straight into the action. Plus, the new Signal Tokens offer fresh options to enhance your scanning strategy.

Whether you’re adapting to your organization’s strengths or navigating new interstellar challenges, SETI: Space Agencies deepens the strategic landscape of your mission to discover life beyond Earth.
