Rocket Jockey: Space Port is an expansion for Rocket Jockey released in 2012 for 2–4 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Morgan Dontanville.
SETUP: After you create the face up cargo draft pile, place the Space Port tile next to the maneuver deck on the opposite side and turn over the top maneuver card in the deck and place it on the Space Port tile. FUELING: Whenever you draw a card, you may exchange one card from your hand with the maneuver card in the Space Port. You may have a maximum hand size of 6. MID-GAME SCORING VARIANT: Place a marker in front of the first player. When the mid-game scoring is triggered, each player is given the opportunity of an equal number of turns. New cards are not replenished in the planetary display, but each player is allowed to continue to make any available deliveries until the player to the left of the starting player finishes their turn. Now continue with the mid-game scoring as normal.
Rocket Jockey: Space Port supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Rocket Jockey: Space Port is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Rocket Jockey: Space Port for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Rocket Jockey: Space Port has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
