Claim the Void’s Riches in Space Junkers!
Take command of your own Space Junker Guild in a competitive board game for 2-5 players. You’ll draft a unique crew of pilots, engineers, and specialists to scour the most distant and dangerous sectors of the galaxy for priceless salvage.
The heart of Space Junkers is its unique “inverted bidding” system. Each round, you must decide: send a small, fast crew to get first choice of the loot, or deploy a larger, slower team to secure a bigger haul? The player who best manages their crew, their timing, and their luck will build the most successful guild and win the game.

- Draft a unique crew from a pool of 36 specialists, including Pilots, Engineers, Quartermasters, and enigmatic Wildcards.
- Train your crew to unlock powerful Elite abilities, or recruit new members mid-game to adapt your strategy.
- Explore 18 dynamic space sectors, each with unique rules and loot distribution that changes every round.
- Salvage valuable Ship Upgrades, lost Cargo, and rare Alien Artefacts.
- Rescue stranded Survivors, each triggering a unique story event that can change your fate.
