About the game
At the scrap yard on the outskirts of the city, four eccentric scientists rummage through piles of useless trash. They are competing to see who is the best rocket designer. The task is not easy, and the materials are limited. Which eccentric researcher will be the first to fly into space in his innovative rocket? Space Craft is a family game in which 2 to 4 players build crazy rockets. The game is for players aged 10+ and will take around 15min per player. During their turn, players will move their pawns on the scrapyard board to collect scrap tiles. Later, they will use those tiles to craft rocket pieces. By collecting specific rocket elements, players will fulfill contracts and those will grant them additional points by the end of the game. The game ends after one player completes the rocket. The winner is the player with the most points.

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 Space Craft is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Space Craft 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.
Space Craft has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
