About the game
Jump into the far future where eager ship jumpers try their luck at salvaging derelict starships. Introducing Dangerous Space, the followup to the breakout 2023 success Dungeon Pages. Dangerous Space is a dungeon crawl experience in futuristic starships. This solo, roll & write game has a tactical emphasis on dice management and careful placement. With more puzzle-optimizing challenges than Dungeon Pages, combined with an all new tech tree, you’ll find yourself racing the clock, dodging enemy laser blasts and confronting some deep space terrors. Core Set The core set is a set of 4 cadets heading out into a dangerous ship to tackle difficult missions. Play as Donzi, Weaver, Oolat, or Bakshi as you try out all of their different playstyles and tech trees. These characters and ship are not repeated in the year long adventure, so if you have both, it'll give you even more variety.
