Intergalactic Plumber

Deploy real-suction plungers, snatch space rocks from shifting asteroid belts, and strand rival sanitation workers in deep orbit in a wacky, tactile family dexterity and movement game.

Inter-Galactic Plumber (published by Outset Media / Cheatwell Games) turns orbital sanitation into a fast-moving, competitive space race. Leaving behind dry worker placement and slow spatial puzzle games, this title leans into physical play with custom astronaut meeples equipped with actual suction-cup plungers. The primary gameplay objective centers on de-clogging cosmic space lanes: players navigate sprawling asteroid fields, roll custom dice to move across shifting space debris, and use their suction plungers to snap up valuable meteorites, striving to bank the most points while trying to trap their competitors in outer space.

The primary mechanical hurdle stems from navigating a constantly disintegrating board layout. At the start of the game, players arrange asteroid tiles into dynamic formations—such as an open ring, a straight cosmic highway, or a dense cluster. On a turn, a player rolls two dice: one dictating movement distance (in stars) and the other indicating a target asteroid color. As you move across the board, you use your suction-cup meeple to lift matching asteroid tiles directly off the table. Snatching asteroids earns you points (or bonus turns from hidden explosions on the flip side), but every removed tile creates empty chasms in the galaxy. Because meeples cannot leap gaps wider than their own footbases, failing to find a valid path forces an astronaut to drift helplessly into the void of space, knocking them out of the round. Designed for 2 to 6 players aged 8 and up, each game takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes. To dominate the cosmos, you must calculate efficient paths, secure high-value debris, and carefully carve away the terrain beneath your rivals' boots.
