About the game
Gunship: Crewmates! is an expansion featuring crewmates designed by 18 lucky backers of the original kickstarter campagin. These new recruits will enter your game and add their skills to your battles. But watch out, the Gunship universe is a very dangerous place and Crewmates don't last forever. If you lose a ship carrying a Crewmate in Campaign Play, you can never use them again! Never fear - there will always be new recruits to take their place, or you COULD skip this rule when we're not looking...
