Space Hulk (Third Edition)

About this board game

Space Hulk (Third Edition) is a two-player board game with approximately 60 minutes of play, released in 2009. One player commands the Space Marines, while the other controls the Genestealer horde opposing them.

From the depths of space, an ancient vessel drifts slowly toward the Imperium of Mankind. This derelict ship is a space hulk, and within its cramped corridors and tomb-like chambers, untold thousands of Genestealers are beginning to emerge from hibernation.

The Space Marines must enter the ancient ship and carry out deadly missions against this alien menace. Their opponent commands the Genestealers as they confront the Marines within the vessel’s confined, dangerous interior.

Space Hulk’s fast-paced rules are designed to recreate the tense atmosphere of combat deep inside a derelict space hulk. With limited room to maneuver and threats emerging from the surrounding darkness, every moment can demand a crucial decision.
