Battlestations

Players take the roles of starship crew members trying to complete scenario-based missions while one player acts as The Enemy, controlling aliens, hazards and surprises. Before play, the crew assembles a modular ship from tiles that represent locations such as the bridge, engine room, torpedo bay and teleporter. Crew members move between rooms to perform location-specific actions: firing weapons, repairing systems, operating the teleporter and managing the engine. A separate board tracks the space around the ship where enemies and threats appear. The crew wins by achieving the scenario objectives together; the Enemy wins by preventing those goals or destroying the ship.
