About this expansion

The Expanse Boardgame: Doors and Corners is an expansion for 2–4 players that adds five optional modules to the base game, with play lasting about 60 minutes. Released in 2019, it lets you combine new strategic possibilities in a variety of ways.

Use any number of the modules in any combination alongside the base game. Each one changes the decisions available as players compete for dominance in the world of The Expanse, adding flexibility, surprise, and new ways to pursue an advantage.

  • Leaders: Leaders accompany fleets and can add influence when they move with a fleet.
  • New Tech: When a technology is earned, choose from three random options for that tech, bringing variety and surprise to the powers available.
  • Resource Tokens: Spend tokens to help pay CP costs, add up to 4 AP to a card, move up the initiative track, or earn bonus points for having the most at final scoring.
  • Protomolecule: Introduces a new scoring opportunity.
  • Variable Setup: Allows fleets and influence to be placed anywhere at the start of the game.

These modules can be selected to suit the experience you want from a session. Add Leaders for fleet-linked influence, use New Tech to make available powers less predictable, or introduce Resource Tokens for additional ways to manage costs, action points, initiative, and final scoring.

With its mix-and-match structure, The Expanse Boardgame: Doors and Corners expands the base game without requiring every addition at once. Choose the modules that best fit your table and shape each game around the strategic options you want to explore.
