The following rules are for Solo play. Multiplayer is

very similar and has only a few changes (explained at
the end of the rulebook).

Star Chart
Phase 1 – Star Chart

Choose one of the four Space Truck sheets

(Sparrowhawk, Countess, Mauler, or Hammerhead)
and examine it. Write the name of your Space Truck
on the line at the top of the page and your Captain’s
Specialty under it to remind you of which rules you
get to “bend.”

Continue this step until only one location remains.
You choose the terrain of the last location.

Now that you know what you’ll encounter on your

Delivery Run, you know which Systems will be a
priority for you during the creation of your Space
Truck.
Phase 2 – Shipyard

Your truck is made up of five types of systems in five

different tetromino shapes. You will roll two dice and
choose one die to be the system and the other die to be the
shape. Refer your die result to the Phase 2 Chart on you
Trucker Sheet. (If you roll a 6, you choose any of the
available shapes systems, or shapes.) Draw on the shape,
and then write the name of the system--or the first letter
of the name—inside the shape. You may rotate or flip your Rolling a 3 and a 2 means that you can choose to place

Each time you place a system draw a small circular pip in
one of the four grids in your tetronimo. You cannot place
pips adjacent to an already existing pip. However, you can
put pips diagonal to each other (adjacent means sharing an
edge).

Cargo Boxes
When you gain Cargo during Phase 3, you will draw a dot
inside the circle pip to show that it’s full.

Your First Victory Point

Once you have completed your Truck and all 5 different systems have been placed gain your first Victory
Point by filling in (or coloring) the top left star on your sheet. Scribble out any blank grids on your
blueprints that were not able to completed. As you gain more VP, you will continue to fill in these stars.
If at any time you get or exceed 20 VP, you immediately win the game.

Each time you gain a VP during this game, fill in with your pen (or colored pencils if you want to be
colorful) a star working from left to right. (the circled stars are every 10.) VP can never be lost.

Multiplayer Competitive

Each player will need their own 2d6 and their own trucker sheet. it can be any of the 4 trucks
(Sparrowhawk, Countess, Mauler, or Hammerhead) or even the same truck design.

All players share the same Star Chart (Phase 1 locations) and advance at the same time from Location to
Location.

The first player to 20 VP wins, or

the player with the most VP after Location G wins,
or the last player still in the game after everybody else has been eliminated wins.
