StarCraft: Typhon Promotion

About this expansion

StarCraft: Typhon Promotion is a 2008 mini-expansion for StarCraft: The Board Game, supporting the base game for 2–6 players with a listed play time of 180 minutes.

This compact expansion introduces a single new planet named Typhon. Unlike every planet in the base game, which has at least two connection points, Typhon has only one connection point.

That unusual configuration makes Typhon a clearly distinctive addition to the planetary map. The promotion includes the planet itself along with the cards and tokens needed to use it in StarCraft: The Board Game.

• One planet: Typhon
• Cards and tokens required for the planet
• A planet with a single connection point

StarCraft: Typhon Promotion expands the original board game rather than presenting a standalone game. It is intended for use with the base game and adds Typhon to its collection of available planets.

The promotion was distributed to visitors of the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational. It formed part of a gift bag containing several Blizzard-related goodies, giving this mini-expansion a specific event-based release history.

For players who want to include every available planet from the game’s published material, Typhon provides a concise addition with a defining physical feature: its single connection point. The included cards and tokens complete the components needed to add this unusual planet to the base game.
