Endure The Stars 1.5 releases alongside several expansions. In the Core Box, you get all the map tiles, tokens, rules, and components for 6 survivor classes and the core enemies and the following expansions are also available: The game tiles that represent the ship have been designed in a modular style, which allows for near limitless map sizes and set-ups. Games can last anywhere between 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the chosen scenario and difficulty, so there's never an excuse not to play! If the survivor's life wasn't hard enough, additional rules can also be added to increase the difficulty, such as solo play, constant stress and scent of blood rules.

The weapons themselves list all the details needed for combat. They each have 4 stats which are range (in map tile zones), a number for the amount of dice to roll, a target number that each dice needs to roll above to hit, and a noise level. Cybernetic Onslaught (adds robotic sentry enemies to games, along with a survivor type with 2 varients) In the Core Box, 6 character types are available for players to chose from, and each has their own set of unique abilities to choose from. The Captain, for example, is able to stay sane when others are losing their minds, ignoring events that can have an adverse effect. The Engineer is able to create escape routes for the survivors and discard equipment cards to make other weapons more powerful. Just some of the enemies you may face in Endure the Stars.The rulebook doesn't feel like a 1.5 rulebook. For an updated product, I would expect it to be incredibly polished, but for such a simple system, it could be written and laid-out so much better. The miniatures and artwork for Endure the Stars are extremely thematic, along with the components they work well to makes it feel extremely thematic. The powerful Exo Loader can give the Endure the Stars survivors a much-needed power boost. On The Tabletop Kit is the owner of ABZ Games, Aberdeen’s gaming community hub.

You’re not the only thing still alive on the ship. The escaped genetic experiments, known as the GEPs, are lurking everywhere and if spotted will not stop hunting youThe game itself felt like an amalgamation of other games. The noise mechanic was Zombicide with a tweak, but for tweak's sake. Their one unique mechanic was the resolve system. You had a set maximum, and when you started losing resolve random effects would occur. However, it has to be the most clunky card system I've ever encountered. Draw 3 cards at the start of the game, flip them over without looking at them, yet show the bottom number on the card. whaaa? in practice this was difficult. Endure the Stars 1.5 is a revamped version of the original game, with lots of new and exciting content and mechanics!
