About the game
What you do in a play session
Starcadia Quest: Showdown is an expansion that introduces a new game mode for Starcadia Quest and Arcadia Quest: intense PvP battles! Here, the goal isn’t to defeat monsters but to outlast other crews in an action-packed arena. Players draft new Upgrade tokens and engage in direct combat on a double-sided board, with layouts tailored for 2 or 3-4 players. With tight corridors and sharp turns, the arena is a frenetic battlefield. Only a few resources, like a Stimpack and computer terminals, remain functional, making them hotly contested strategic points. Victory goes to the first crew to score 3 kills. Additionally, the Hollow Deck technology allows players to summon legendary heroes from Arcadia to aid in battle. With 60 hero cards and crew dashboards that include slots for pets and mounts, Showdown is an expansion that enhances the strategic possibilities and chaotic fun of the base game.
