About the game
Sub Terra Incubation is the fourth modular expansion for Sub Terra, introducing a new character, the Scavenger, as well as a brand new horrible thing to deal with, horror spawn. Faster but weaker than their fully grown cousins, these disgusting little blighters hatch from sticky, amniotic eggs that grow in the corners of the eery caves in Sub Terra. Interact with them at your peril... New tiles, new horrors, a new character. Incubation adds another chapter to your Sub Terra adventures! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Sub Terra: Incubation supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Sub Terra: Incubation is 45–60 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 Sub Terra: Incubation for ages 10 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.
Sub Terra: Incubation belongs to these categories: Horror, Exploration, and Maze. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Push Your Luck, and Tile Placement. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Sub Terra: Incubation are: Tim Pinder. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Sub Terra: Incubation as an expansion for Sub Terra. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Sub Terra to use it. Check that your edition of Sub Terra is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
