About the game
In an attempt to weed out the criminal elements from Dynasty worlds, the military has set up blockades and checkpoints throughout the sector. While this has made it much harder for smugglers, it has made things more lucrative for the traders who can get past these troops. This 6-card expansion follows the format of the other expansions with new encounters, character, ship and a new enemy. The new enemy (The Saboteur) moves through the rows of cards and when they get to the end, they will grab an available Xeno Crystal. Timing is everything. COMPONENTS 5 Multipurpose cards 1 Enemy card SETUP Set aside the Wealth, Starting Crew, Ship, and Equipment cards from the base game. Sort the remaining base game cards along with any expansion cards into the following groups: Crew, Ships, Equipment, and Enemies. Shuffle each group, then randomly draw the following: Crew: 3 Ships: 3 Equipment: 7 Enemy: 1 Along with the cards that you set aside, these are the 18 cards you will use to play. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
SpaceShipped: Lockdown supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for SpaceShipped: Lockdown is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists SpaceShipped: Lockdown for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
