About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for an intergalactic journey that will pull you out of the Wild West and throw you into the cold darkness of space! "Shadows of Brimstone: Other Worlds – Derelict Ship" is an expansion that takes you inside a drifting spaceship, the Vostros, which never completed its mission. Forget the saloons and dusty towns for a moment, because now danger comes with flickering lights and sinister whispers from the dark.

This expansion adds a whole new explorable world, composed of 18 modular board tiles that form the creepy setting of the derelict ship. Your Heroes will have to face three new enemy types, including six lethal Necronauts, plus a host of new cards that bring unexpected challenges and events. And the best part? If they survive the terror, they might get their hands on futuristic weapons and surprising technologies!

"Derelict Ship" brings six challenging missions that will test the courage and luck of your adventurers. It's an expansion that dives deep into horror and exploration, requiring players to work together (after all, it's cooperative!) to overcome the dangers and unravel the mysteries of this lost ship. Remember, this expansion doesn't work on its own; you need the base game of Shadows of Brimstone to embark on this space adventure. Get ready to feel the pressure and madness closing in!
