Your newly installed rocket drive will aid in mining asteroids teeming with valuable resources, while your experimental drop drive will allow you to reach distant and unknown destinations. Make orbit around strange worlds to sell off your cargo, pick up passengers, and discover alien specimens, while battling unscrupulous pirates hell-bent on profiting off your tireless efforts...

Drop Drive is a lightweight pickup-and-deliver game for 2-4 players, featuring the new "drop-style" mechanic that assures no two games could possibly be the same. Drop Drive blends strategy with a novel spatial element that will challenge casual and hardcore gamers alike!

At the start of each game, crystals and other components representing lost captains, pirates, and planets, are dropped onto the table from a height of 4 to 8 inches. This creates a galaxy layout with infinite possibilities. You will then use your customized spaceship to explore space, upgrade your ship, mine asteroids for precious resources, and land on mysterious worlds to sell your cargo, pickup passengers, and collect strange alien specimens!
