Galaxy Trucker is a light game (weight 2/10). Despite the modest rules footprint, the decision space is deep (5/10) — the kind of game that rewards a dozen plays. Decision density is intense (8/10) — expect brain-burn and the occasional bout of AP. There's meaningful but indirect interaction (interaction 5/10) — shared resources, catch-up effects, or watch-and-react moments. Direct attacks are minimal (3/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
Of every game in our catalog, Galaxy Trucker is closest to Eldritch Horror (83% profile match) but scores higher on density (8 vs. 5).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.
