About the game
Get ready for more space shenanigans with ROVE: Tourist Traps! This expansion for the solo game ROVE adds a twist of fun and frustration, because, let's face it, who hasn't gotten into trouble over a cheesy tourist attraction? These little explorer bots are the epitome of curiosity, and in a universe with infinite planets, it's only natural they'd fall into tourist traps.

With just 6 new cards, this little gem changes how you move across the map. The Movement cards introduced here ditch the easy bonus points for matching a specific pattern. Now, the game is different: you need to move a specific Module using some of the card's movement points before spending the rest however you see fit. It's an extra challenge that will test your planning and hand management skills, forcing you to think twice before each move. If you already enjoy the vibe of ROVE and want a new flavor for your solo sessions, this expansion is a must-have. It keeps the essence of the original game but adds a layer of complexity that will make your space adventures even more interesting and, perhaps, a bit more chaotic. It's perfect for those who enjoy clever puzzles and miniature challenges.
