About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare your spaceship and choose your crew, because Starcadia Quest is here to take you on an epic space adventure! In this standalone campaign game, you and up to 2 friends take command of two hero crews with a common goal: to stop the all-powerful Commander Thorne from dominating the galaxy. But don't be fooled, cooperation is just a facade! While everyone wants to defeat the villain, each crew is looking out for their own interests, meaning the competition between you will be as intense as the fight against Thorne's army.

With a modular board that changes each game and unique hero powers, each mission offers a new challenge. Luck rolls freely with the dice, and grid movement forces you to think about every step. The variable phase order can shift, requiring you to adapt quickly. It's a blend of adventure, combat, and strategy, all wrapped in a science fiction universe with a touch of anime and super stylish miniatures. If you enjoy games with a narrative that unfolds over multiple sessions and aren't afraid of a little controlled chaos (and perhaps some friendly backstabbing), Starcadia Quest will keep you hooked from start to finish. It's perfect for those seeking a deeper experience than traditional board games, but without the complexity of a heavy wargame. Let's explore this galaxy and show them who's boss!
