About the game
If you're already a veteran captain of Space Base and feel your fleet needs an upgrade to secure that extra profit, get your hangar ready! We're talking about the Space Base: Dead Reckoning Promo Cards, a special pack born during the Dead Reckoning Kickstarter campaign. Don't let the size fool you: it's just 6 cards, but they bring a power that can change the course of your space journey. The big differentiator here is the 'treasure excavator' theme. By using these cards, you unlock ships with an extremely tempting ability: the ability to keep all the credits you don't spend during the turn. In a game where resource management is the key to victory, having the chance to not lose your currency after a round of actions is a game-changer. The cards include epic names like Queen Annie's Revenge, Whodah, The Red Shih, Kraken's Maw, Setting Sun, and Royal Misfortune. The text on them is straightforward and very easy to memorize: 'This turn, keep all coins you do not spend.' It's the kind of resource you want to have on hand when your economic strategy is tight. It's important to remember that this is promotional content, meaning it serves to vary the classic dynamics of the base game, allowing each game to have a different flavor and a stronger focus on accumulating wealth. If you're looking for a way to make your games more generous or simply want to test new paths to prosperity, these cards are your golden ticket. It's the perfect complement for those who have already mastered Space Base's mechanics and want to add an extra layer of financial strategy to the chaos of deep space!
