Core Space Trading Post 5 Expansion Board Game

The Core Space Trading Post 5 Expansion is a narrative campaign and terrain set designed for use with the Core Space: First Born tabletop skirmish game. This expansion introduces a new location—a makeshift trading post established in an asteroid crater—where players' traders can recruit crew, purchase equipment, and engage in missions within an eclectic bazaar of shops and workshops. The expansion focuses on providing both new gameplay scenarios and the physical components needed to represent this frontier outpost on the tabletop. The expansion includes a substantial collection of high-quality components. Players receive nine detailed 32mm scale miniatures: seven trader/NPC figures, one Galactic Corps agent, and one auxiliary character. These are accompanied by nine character boards and four class boards for gameplay tracking. The terrain set is comprehensive, featuring various cargo containers (large and small trade containers, a standard container, drop crates, and a cargo crate), furniture (tables and chairs), shelves, and signage to build the trading post environment. Additional gameplay elements include event cards, equipment tokens, and data/poison counters, all supported by a mission briefing and rules booklet that outlines the new narrative campaign. This expansion is ideal for existing Core Space players looking to expand their game's narrative and tactical options. The new campaign sees traders defending the settlement from alien attackers, adding a cooperative defence element to the game. The terrain pieces are compatible with other Core Space sets, allowing for custom battlefield setups. It's best suited for hobbyists who enjoy narrative-driven skirmish games and appreciate detailed miniature painting and terrain building as part of their tabletop experience.
