Theseus: The Dark Orbit – Space Station Cards

About this expansion

Theseus: The Dark Orbit – Space Station Cards is a mini expansion for 2–4 players, adding 10 Space Station cards to the 90-minute game. Originally included with pre-orders of Theseus purchased directly from Portal Games, this set introduces new possibilities for players who already know the game well.

All 10 cards are Common cards, meaning they do not belong to any faction. Their effects can change the situation in the station’s sectors from the very beginning of the game, encouraging players to abandon familiar strategies and adapt to a more demanding challenge.

• Common Action cards: any player can activate them.
• Common Special and Module cards: their effects operate in favor of each player.
• Common Shortcut cards: any player can use them.
• Common Trap cards: they damage each player.

To use the expansion, shuffle the Common cards and draw one or two. Place the selected cards in any of the game’s three Common sectors—the universal sectors that do not belong to a faction. The players decide both how many cards to include and where to place them.

Theseus: The Dark Orbit – Space Station Cards is designed to diversify repeated games rather than serve as an introductory addition. Because the chosen cards are present from the start, they can significantly alter the conditions in the sectors and force everyone to reassess their plans. Add one card for a lighter change or two for a stronger twist, then discover how the shared station environment reshapes play.
