## Description
Space Explorers: Spacecraft Projects Promo is a 2019 mini‑expansion that adds four brand‑new spacecraft to the base game. Each ship comes on a double‑sided tile, giving two distinct options per piece: Luna 3 & Surveyor 1 on one side and Sputnik 2 & Freedom 7 on the other. The vessels have their own unique requirements—such as specific resources or cards—and award different victory points than the original projects. The core gameplay stays the same: players engage in open drafting of project cards, build collections, and try to meet each ship's conditions to score. Because the expansion only introduces tiles and a handful of requirement cards, the learning curve is tiny; just shuffle the new tiles into the project deck and play by the standard rules. Playtime remains around 20‑40 minutes, making it perfect for quick sessions or as a tasty add‑on to an ongoing game. It’s a solid choice for fans of space exploration who want extra strategic variety without extra complexity.
