How It Plays
Action Points
You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.
Dice Rolling
You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!
Grid Movement
Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Pick-up and Deliver
You pick up goods from one location and deliver them to another for rewards — efficient routes mean big payoffs.
Push Your Luck
You keep rolling or drawing for bigger rewards, but push too far and you lose it all — knowing when to stop is the real skill.
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.

About This Game
Available in blue as an exclusive add-on during the 2013 Xia: Legends of a Drift System Kickstarter campaign. The 2016 Xia: Embers of a Forsaken Star Kickstarter campaign would see the Mk II: same miniature in yellow, with the addition of the components required to make it playable as a player's ship ("Void Wasp" ship mat and ability card, RK-5 Blaster outfit piece). The Mk II was reissued (in a box this time) as an add-on for the 2018 Xia: Embers of a Forsaken Star + Xia: Missions and Powers campaign.
