This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
We're just a few hours into this edition of Trashdome and it already looks like ROBORALLY is going to get pushed into a pit, where it belongs. The game's a dog, folks. Vote it into oblivion.
I've subscribed to Games magazine for the pencil puzzles since the early 1980s, and a review of Roborally grew into a fast growing obsession with the game, and eventually modern board games. My wife and I have played many games with several expansions, and I've saved my copy to play with my daughter. It's great thematically and a riot even when things go wrong. But I like Warhamster Rally too, so take that for what it's worth...
Galaxy Trucker was fun to play once, but I have no interest to play again. The race is a riot but the puzzle aspect seemed a bit shallow compared to something like Factory Fun (aka "Factory"). The designer is brilliant, though, in this and other games.
Galaxy Trucker isn't a game. But Roborally really sux. WTF? How do I vote? This is just like the last presidential election. Or every presidential election.
I abstain in disgust.
Actually I will vote for the Ron Paul of this Trashdome, Ricochet Robots. Still pretty "blah", but better than either of these other losers.
It is telling that I have never once played a game of Galaxy Trucker that felt like it was bogging down. I've never played RoboRalley, but it seems that EVERY game of RoboRally bogs down.
RoboRally is by far my favorite game. I've played it many, many times over the past decade and still haven't gotten tired of it. Like someone else said, its kind of like racing through the Acme factory except you have lasers and other assorted weapons. I've even seen games won by a player being the last one alive. Its of course a tough game on anyone who can't laugh at their own misfortune/mistakes, but GT has that too. It can be more tense than any other game I've played and wonderfully frustrating when your robot can't turn left when needed. My friends and I have played so much we don't need a timer and always finish two-board games in well under two hours.
Galaxy Trucker is pretty much a flash-in-the-pan game. I'm surprised so many here like it since there's no interaction whatsoever. The first half is just a simple tile-laying optimization exercise. The second half of each round you just sit there and watch what happens. It barely qualifies as a game, imo.

The Cult of the New has followers here at F:AT. Not you or me, though.
This robot was seen outside of a Trashdome polling place trying to intimidate voters. I think that says a lot about the character of the typical ROBORALLY supporter.
