The Expanse Board Game (+Expansion: Doors and Corners)

Description
A 2-4 player competitive area influence game in the theme of the Expanse.

The Expanse Board Game on BGG[boardgamegeek.com]

Board game is set in the pseudo-realistic scifi Expanse universe from the books by James S.A. Corey[www.jamessacorey.com] and TV show produced by Syfy[www.syfy.com] (now an Amazon original); wherein the UN, Mars, a shady corporation, and exploited laborers compete for power and control in a not too distant future of our Solar System.

Inspired by mechanics from the board game Twilight Struggle, Players have to maximize utility of randomized event cards in their favor, weighing their gains against potential opportunities for opponents. Players use these events, action points, and faction specific technology to attempt to control areas of the solar system with Fleets and Influence.

Support the creators by purchasing a physical copy!

Price range is $30-$40 and well worth the price for the solid gameplay mechanics.

EXPANSION

This mod now includes the components from the expansion: Doors and Corners. Expansion adds 5 optional modules that can be selectively added to change the game. Changes include: additional faction tech options, alternate resource point usage, faction leader powers, protomolecule infestations and competition, and variable starting positions.

Season 4 on Amazon Prime

Now that the show is secured by Amazon after SyFy let it go, season 4 will be releasing in early December 2019 on Amazon Prime. Season 4 Trailer

All files have been restored. All assets are fully functional. Thank you to those that helped.

I don't have a share service, so I sent you an invite
Eskander  [author] Aug 14, 2021 @ 5:08pm 
You can host it on any share service you have, or you can send me a friend invite and we can coordinate from there. Up to you.

Okay, I backed it up, though it said there were files missing (I don't get any missing file errors when I load it in TTS). How do I send it to you?
Eskander  [author] Aug 12, 2021 @ 11:36am 
Easiest way is TTS backup tool: https://www.nexusmods.com/tabletopsimulator/mods/263; find mod in list, hit backup button. It will create a .ttsmod file that contains the assets. An alternate way is sharing your entire assets folders on some cloud service.

I think I have all of the files in my local cache. How do I go about sending them to you?
Eskander  [author] Jul 5, 2021 @ 7:01pm 
This is accurate. I lost the files. Anyone with backups of the files have them handy to send over?

When I try to load this mod I get several errors in loading custom files. They appear to be missing on the cloud server. Please check to see that all your files are available. This mod is currently unplayable.

Well, this is problematic. Data migration failed. I lost a few assets on this file. If there's anyone out there with the full mod assets in their local cache, let me know; if I can get these files back, I can restore the mod. Check out the TTS backup tool as an easy way to find the files, verify you have them locally, and back them up into a singular file that you can send over. Other options exist, too.

@PouDaddy, We discussed this directly earlier; posting this just to prevent confusion in anyone else. This post from creator Geoffrey Englestein details the intention of the cube count: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1834382/correction-cube-count; in gist, there are 18 physical influence cubes for each faction (15+3 big ones for UN). One cube each is intended for usage as a CP tracker with only 17 cubes available for play throughout the game.
