Bucket of Bolts

Long after the crew are forgotten, the ship flies on... Bucket of Bolts is a story game about spaceships—space-faring craft that carry their crew across the stars. Guided by simple rules and richly detailed cards, you’ll shape the history of a lone vessel from its manufacture to its inevitable destruction—exploring the lives and times of the pivotal heroes and scoundrels, its Captains, who pilot it along the way. Play solo or with friends to build a legend, charting a course through the stars that will echo across the galaxy. “She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.” – Han Solo, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope by George Lucas Time: 1–2 hours Players: 1–4+ Bucket of Bolts builds on the well-loved mechanics of Artefact, which also received a new card-based edition in 2026 alongside the brand-new Counterpart. While the system now supports multiple players with its new rules, there is still a dedicated solo mode. Files for the game's older edition are still available through this listing.
