About the game
What you do in a play session
The Starcadia Quest: Build-a-Robot – Extras expansion brings an arsenal of 4 new robots and 2 monsters to your intergalactic campaign. Each robot has a unique identity: the Laser‑Tilt fires beams that shift enemy positions; the Nano‑Dash allows short, quick jumps; the Xeno‑Shift changes form to dodge attacks; and the Meta‑Click fires an energy click that can disable opponent abilities. The monsters, Y‑Crush and Omega Launcher, are threats that require collective strategy to defeat. The set includes detailed miniatures, power tokens, combat dice, modular board pieces, and a new grid layout that increases route variety. Variable phase order mechanics ensure each turn is unpredictable, while variable player powers let each commander have a distinct role. Though the expansion keeps the base game’s learning curve, the moderate language dependency requires a translated sheet or cards for non‑English speakers. Ideal for 2 to 4 players, the game lasts about 60 minutes, keeping the fun without overloading time. If you’re looking for more robot variety, monster challenges, and a board that changes each game, this expansion is the upgrade you’ve been missing for your Starcadia Quest.
