Space Base: The Emergence of Shy Pluto (EN)

Space Base: The Emergence of Shy Pluto is an expansion for the space game Space Base. You therefore need the base game. It is a story in multiple sessions. A strange new celestial body has appeared, Shy Pluto, and you help to investigate it.

With each scenario, new ships and new rules are added. This way you learn the expansion step by step. After the story you can play it again, or add the new cards to your base game permanently.

You play Space Base as you’re used to, but now with a story. Here’s how it works:

• Read the story card: the card tells you what to set up and what the goal is for this game.
• Play a game: play Space Base with the new ships from that scenario. Roll the dice and your ships produce resources.
• Continue the story: if you achieve the goal, flip over the next story card. Sometimes you’ll open a sealed box.

For example, in one scenario, extra dice are added to the game. You can use them to make bonus rolls and earn resources faster.

The games themselves work just like in the base game, where the first player to reach 40 points wins.

• A story instead of just cards You play a short campaign. Each game adds something new.
• New things in small pieces New ships and rules are introduced one by one. This makes it easy to follow.
• Lots of dice You roll often and acquire new things frequently. Reviewers find this a lot of fun.
