I like Galaxy Trucker too. The instruction manual is very funny. I agree that the second phase is a bit slow, but at least all players play at the same time, no waiting. I think the problem is that there are very limited ways to act/​react in the second phase. What if you had a number of actions that you could spend on repairing your ship or upgrading it on the fly a la Geordi La Forge?
