About this expansion

ROVE: Crawler is a single-module expansion for a one-player game, designed for a 15-minute solo experience. It introduces an alien parasite that has latched onto ROVE and is crawling across your modules as you work to complete your mission.

This expansion adds one new Module card: Crawler. Unlike the other challenges you may face, Crawler must always cover a single module, creating a specific restriction that shapes how it interacts with the rest of the game.

Crawler also comes with its own ability and movement. Its presence is not simply a static obstacle; it changes position and brings a distinct behavior to the table. You will need to figure out how to deal with this new challenge while continuing to pursue your objective.

  • A single Module card expansion
  • A new restriction requiring Crawler to cover one module
  • A unique ability and movement
  • A special type of passive ability

The parasite’s special passive ability gives Crawler an unusual role. It can sometimes be in your way, complicating your plans, but it can also be useful when the situation allows. This tension makes the new module more than a straightforward penalty.

ROVE: Crawler offers a compact way to add a neat new twist to the game. For solo players who want another challenge to manage within a short play session, this 2022 expansion brings a focused threat with movement, restrictions, and abilities of its own.
