About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare for a cosmic blackout in Unsettled: Blackout, the eighth planetary expansion for the Unsettled game! This time, the crew finds themselves on a ship plunged into total darkness after research with a mysterious substance went terribly wrong. To make matters worse, the AI Luna, responsible for the ship, has gone haywire and now sees you as enemies. The goal is to restore the ship's power before Luna, in her uncontrolled rage, turns off the lights for good – and you along with them.
You'll need to be clever and quick. Luna is not playing around and will try to thwart your progress at every turn. The good news is you have a few tactics up your sleeve: you can pile equipment to create makeshift barricades, distract her with loud noises, or, as a last resort, make a quick jump out the airlock if she gets too close. But beware, being caught by Luna is a terrible idea, and you know how effective she is at… well, at taking you out of commission. This expansion brings a new planet with unique challenges, requiring intense cooperation and strategic planning to survive the darkness and the hostile AI. It's time to put your thinking caps on and get out of this space predicament!
