Core Space: First Born
A sci-fi miniatures skirmish in which players command a band of Traders exploring ancient alien temples. Games play out on a detailed 3D board as crews move through rooms, search for salvage, complete scenario objectives and extract back to their ship. Between scenarios, a campaign system tracks individual crew members, lets them gain skills and upgrade equipment, and carries crew progress and resources across plays. Combat uses streamlined core mechanics with a real-search system for hidden items and integrates encounters with a mysterious alien race that opposes the Traders.
