Reminder: Mothership Booster Pack + New expansion Ends today
almost 6 years ago – Tue, Jun 02, 2020 at 12:43:50 AM

Just a quick reminder that the Mothership Booster Pack campaign ends today. We just added a brand new, miniatures-focused expansion pack which you can see detailed below.

I'm sending this via all project pages and mailing list...so I'm really sorry if you get this message 4 times! 😅

New expansion: Beyond the Expanse
 

I'm so excited to announce a brand new expansion for Mothership: Beyond the Expanse.

Wondrous sights await you as you explore Beyond the Expanse. Tales are told of Pirates, space dwelling aliens, merchant traders and planets that are covered in giant sprawling cities. This miniatures-focused expansion pack will add a variety of ways to increase your presence in the galaxy and more ways to gain Victory Points.

 Beyond the Expanse Includes:

  • 1x Pirate Stronghold   
  • 4x City Planets   
  • 1x Space Whale   
  • 8x Merchant Enclaves + Supports   
  • 6x Stands   
  • 10x Expanse Cards  
  •  2x Red HP Cubes   
  • 1x Rulebook

That's all from me, thanks again!

News for Mothership 2nd Edition + Survey
over 7 years ago – Tue, Oct 30, 2018 at 12:36:48 AM

 Hey everyone! 

A lot of development has happened on Mothership since it found a publisher. I won't clog your inbox up with too much stuff as I'm sure most of you have found the updates through the mailing list and Board Game Geek. 

In case you missed it though:

 New Unit

Call of the Void Expansion

Base Game Changes

How you get all the new stuff

This is the part your probably most interested in, and the part I'm most concerned about getting right: How do you, the wonderful first edition backer, get all the upgraded gear without having to buy a new game?  

There will be a pledge level for a '1st Edition Upgrade Pack.' If we reach all stretch goals (keep in mind I haven't told you about all of them yet) then the pack will include:

  • New Rule Book  
  • 6 x Overhauled Control Panels  
  • 6 x Overhauled Tech Trees  
  • 206 x Cubes (Includes: Mineral, Gas, Tech, HP and Energy Cubes) Base game card deck (Includes: all Action cards, Artifacts etc.)  
  • 18 x Guardian Cannons to suit all colours (and stands)  
  • 2 x Gas Planets  

This is a massive pack too, it's almost half of the game. Most parts will be available individually, but some will not. This is purely for cost reasons. It's much cheaper to make large quantities and sell them in predefined kits than to offer everything separately. The estimated cost of the upgrade pack is hovering around $35 USD at the moment. This price may go up or down before we launch. I'm letting you know the ball park price now so I can get your opinions.

Survey!

I'd love your opinion on all of the new content: do you love it, hate it, etc. How do you feel about the upgrade pack price? How do you feel about me overhauling the base game 2 years after the first edition? Speak your mind! It's all anonymous, all I ask is that you tell me how you really feel.

Click here for the survey.

 You'll hear from me again via Kickstarter probably closer to our next launch. 

Thanks again for your support! 

Peter
