The 3D board is stunning — you assemble corridors, rooms, and traps like a real puzzle, and every game is a brand-new maze. Use action points to move, fight, and investigate, while rolling icon dice to see if your shot hits or if you dodge a collapsing ceiling. The campaign system is the heart: your characters gain skills, carry scars, and upgrade gear between games, creating a story you actually care about. You play cooperatively… but watch out: one player might have a secret agenda. And if you’re solo? The solo rules are flawless. This is the kind of game that ends and makes you say, 'Let’s play again' — with friends, or alone, beer in hand, the echo of an alien temple still ringing in your head. ## FAQ ### How many players? 1 to 6. Works brilliantly solo, and with a group, the tension and fun skyrocket. ### How long does a game take? 45 to 180 minutes. First game takes longer — after that, you’ll be a seasoned explorer racing through temples. ### Is it hard to learn? Core rules are simple, but the campaign system and 3D board details need patience. Totally worth it. ### Do I need a translation? Yes. Most components — cards, rules, events — are in English. Many players have created PT-BR translations online. ### Is there a digital version? Yes! There’s a fully functional TableTop Simulator mod that replicates the whole game — perfect for online play or trying before buying. ### Good for beginners? Yes — if you love immersion and don’t mind details. It’s a complete starter set; no other game needed to jump in. ### What else do I need to buy? Nothing. The box has everything: miniatures, board pieces, dice, rulers, markers. You just need courage… and maybe a good translation. ## Price Comparison ### Best International Offers - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 78.99 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3384805&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 84.98 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=6719781&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 87.47 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=5577022&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 92.73 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=6796254&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 95.10 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3376359&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 102.57 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=6538465&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 108.51 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=4374191&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 113.54 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3496437&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 117.95 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3489182&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 123.68 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=4426854&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - See all on BoardGamePrices: https://boardgameprices.com/item/show/38231/core-space-first-born?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com
