Description

Are you ready to take the Stardust further beyond? Stardust: First Steps expands the cooperative space survival adventure with three modules.

THIS IS AN EXPANSION. IT REQUIRES THE BASE STARDUST GAME TO PLAY.

The Mars Landing is the biggest part of the expansion, making the game longer and harder with a supplementary objective to land on the red planet, do the all important Science™ and make it back. How many things can go wrong with dividing the crew where one half can't interact with the objectives, the other half can't rest? You're about to find out!

Wolfram is a new playable character, a doctor who can get other players to go for longer by picking up discarded cards. He also means that the game can be played with up to five players.

Finally, the Damage Chips replace the base game's Damage Deck with a set of chipboard discs (made with real damage) and a bag (made with real bag), that fulfil the same function, but are significantly easier to shuffle.

All three modules can be used independently of each other, or all together - the choice is yours on how you want to play.

The First Steps expansion has been added to the Stardust mod for Tabletop Simulator: Steam Workshop::Stardust

Good luck, and fly safe!

Own It Played It Fun High Replay Value Well Written Rules Nice Artwork

Great extension of the base game and good to have another character. Chips are definitely easier that the damage cards!
