"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!

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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game of Shadows of Brimstone to play this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! "Derelict Ship" is an expansion and cannot be played on its own. You need the base game to use all the new material.
What is the difficulty level of this expansion?

How complex is it to learn the new rules?

Is it worth it for someone who prefers horror over western themes?
