XenoShyft: Dreadmire

About this board game

XenoShyft: Dreadmire is a 1–4 player base-defense board game with an approximately 60-minute play time, set on the lush but deadly marsh planet Genesis VII.

After surviving the horrors of the Hive, players face an entirely new ecosystem of enemies. Dreadmire can be played as a standalone game or combined with assets from XenoShyft: Onslaught, offering a flexible way to experience the XenoShyft system.

The game combines classic deck-building and resource management with fast-paced combat. As the danger escalates, each player develops a deck of troop and item cards, then puts those forces to work defending the base against incoming enemies.

• Eight new troop types
• Twenty new item types
• More than 40 new enemy types
• Base-defense gameplay with deadly combat

Every card added to a player’s deck contributes to the ongoing effort to hold the line. Resource management and deck-building shape the tools available for each confrontation, while the game’s base-defense elements keep the focus on surviving the advancing threat.

Released in 2017, XenoShyft: Dreadmire expands the setting with a dangerous new world and a substantial collection of troops, items, and enemies. Whether played on its own or alongside Onslaught content, it delivers a focused tabletop battle against the horrors of Genesis VII.
