Theseus: The Dark Orbit

Five factions compete for data and survival aboard a space station in deep space. Players move their pawns through the station, activate room abilities, and disrupt opponents’ movement while pursuing their own objectives. Each faction uses a distinct set of abilities, including weapons and traps, secret passages, technological devices, or mind control. Trait cards change room abilities during play, allowing players to install features such as mines, smart guns, and ventilation routes. Team rules support 2-vs-2 battles, while deck-building options let players customize the cards used by their faction.
