Overview

It's the year 2047, and the world's atmosphere is filled with all manner of junk; those in charge have decided to do something about it. Their solution is to begin production of "Space Junk", a brand new reality TV show that follows a group of carefully chosen random contestants as they cobble together spaceships out of whatever junk they can find, cleaning up space in the process. Altruism is all well and good, but in order to make a good TV program, one needs more than that — which is why the producers, in all their wisdom, encourage the contestants to engage in space races with each other. Additionally, the contestants are allowed to use anything as weapons against one another, with a fat cash prize encouraging such motivation for the contestants. In Space Junk, you've landed a spot on this reality television show, and now it's time to clean up outer space while entertaining the masses! Orbit the earth seeking out and picking up space junk, both to build a ship with and to recycle! The game is simple, easy to learn and will reduce you to tears (of laughter) as you build the most ridiculous ship imaginable. You will use your ship to speed around the earth, crash into and attack other players, and collect valuable junk to become the most famous contestant! Space Junk plays 2-6 players and plays different every time with the huge variety of cards.
