About the game

What you do in a play session

In a faraway corner of the galaxy, Supreme Commander Thorne orchestrated his masterstroke: the Thornetroopers, an elite squad as charismatic as they are dangerous. This Kickstarter-exclusive expansion packs a punch with new villains to spice up your Starcadia Quest games, featuring 9 highly detailed miniatures ranging from soldiers to bizarre creatures - all with that signature space humor the series loves. Comes with 2 hero cards, 5 monster cards and 11 extra quests to mix up the challenges. The best part? You can slot these guys into any base game scenario. Get ready to laugh (and curse) when these troopers hit your board with their uniquely expressive faces!
