GAME OBJECTIVE

No one was more aware of the frantic passage of time than

the two women who stood nervously in the cockpit of the
Valley Forge mining vessel.

Villalobos checked the navigational console, as Doctor

Chandra scavenged the chamber for useful equipment.The
emotionless voice of the ship’s computer counted down in the
background the time remaining until the starship’s engines
exploded.

“There’s still time,Trillian. I’m sure…” said the Doctor, her

voice increasingly panicked.

“As if we haven’t got enough to worry about – look at this!”

Chandra joined Villalobos at the nav-console. Both women’s

eyes widened as the console screen showed a number of
angry red warning triangles approaching the starship’s
silhouette.The screen cautioned: ASTEROID IMPACT
IMMINENT!

A voice crackled over the intercom: “Trillian, do you read me?”

She rushed to reply. “Loud and clear, Palmer.”

“I think the alien just got the captain – get down here, and
fast!” NOTE: A copy of the base game is required for play.
You’ll also need to provide an opaque container from

discharged in a tight space, and an inhuman shriek that sent
shivers down their spines.

Villalobos turned to her friend. “Grab what you can, Doc, and
let’s get the hell outta here. Let’s hope this old bird can take
a few space rocks smashing into her, because you and I got a

The 13th Passenger expansion for Lifeform is a modular, plug-

Combine these new characters with the pool of available
crew for your multi-player Lifeform games.
ASTEROID IMPACT – MODULE B.
When using the asteroid impact module, perform the
setup for a normal game, modified in the following ways:
1 Randomise the four asteroid impact tokens, and alien hiding place.
place them facedown on the Self-Destruct track.
One on each space, starting at T-minus 19 mins and RENEWED STAMINA: Removes any other
finishing on T-minus 16 mins.
2 Shuffle the three asteroid impact cards, and place
them to one side of the gameboard.
As your game progresses, the Self-Destruct tracker will
advance to the T-minus 19 minute space. At that time,
examine the asteroid impact token on that space: it
will either reveal that the Valley Forge starship has been
struck by asteroids, or that an impact is imminent (then
remove the token from the game).
STRUCK BY ASTEROIDS! Draw a random asteroid
impact card and follow the instructions upon it (each
details the implications of the impact on one starship
deck). Remove all the remaining asteroid impact tokens
and cards from the game (they will not be used).
IMPACT IMMINENT! Continue with your game, and
as the Self-Destruct tracker advances, follow the above
process to deal with each new asteroid impact token.
SOLO CRISIS AND SEARCH –
INITIALIZING THE SHUTTLE – MODULE C.
When playing the solo game mode (using the Dragon’s
Domain expansion), perform that setup, modified in the
following ways:
1 Shuffle the nine new Crisis cards into your existing INITIALIZING THE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS
deck of C-Deck Crisis cards.
2 Place the Remora gameboard to the side of your token, advance the Life Support tracker one space to the

As you try to escape the doomed mining starship, and
you’ve included this game module, you need to predict
whereabouts on the shuttle the lifeform may be hiding.
You are doing this via remote sensing tech, learning the
lifeform’s behaviours, and remotely flushing the shuttle’s
compartments with halon gas. If you cannot pinpoint
its location, an additional combat zone box is added to
increase your woes!
CRISIS CARDS: Each of the new Crisis cards instructs
you to place a token on a specific chamber of the
Remora. This effectively removes that room as a possible
conditions (example: ‘Exhausted’).
UNLOCKING THE DOCKING CLAMPS: This
track on the Remora board adds an additional way to
complete one of the three must-complete objectives
from the Dragon’s Domain expansion (Uncoupling the
Umbilicus). If you manage to complete this objective in some
other way, slide the token to the end of the Docking Clamps
track – it is now no longer needed or considered.
When one of the new Crisis cards instructs you to
“unlock a docking clamp”, slide the token one space
along the Docking Clamps track. When it reaches the
end of the track (three clamps unlocked), you have
gained this objective.
MANUALLY UNLOCKING A DOCKING CLAMP:
In the event that you arrive at the shuttle bay chamber
on the main gameboard, and have completed the other

Each action does the following:
OPTIONAL HALON GAS BLAST SPEND: If
the crew has a Halon Gas Blast token, they may place
it in the chosen chamber (it cannot now be used in the
Showdown stage) to perform a SEARCH action (that
doesn’t require a crew disk)
LIFEFORM REVEAL: The alien lifeform player places
a spare mission token on a shuttlecraft location –
indicating that the lifeform is not hidden there.
SEARCH: The crew players pick any one shuttlecraft
location on the Remora gameboard (place a surviving
crew disk to indicate which location was searched by
that member of the crew).
If the searched location matches the alien’s location

location card, go to WHERE THE HELL IS IT?!
NOTE: If the alien lifeform chose the Engineering
Compartment location card, and that location was
not searched or ‘flushed out’ with Halon gas, then
the alien player instantly kills one crewmember. If this
kills a player’s last remaining crew disk, that player is
eliminated from the Showdown sequence of the game!
REWARD FOR SKILFUL SEARCHING
In the centre of the shuttle gameboard are two zones
for placing crew disks (with three positions). Use these
positions to place any crew disks remaining when the
alien lifeform has been discovered (do not use these
zones if the lifeform was successful).
Placing a crew disk in the first zone allows the crew
players to choose and keep any one combat token.
Placing two crew disks in the second zone allows
the crew players to choose and keep any three

and then follow the section of instructions on the

Afterward, proceed to the Showdown Stage (page 32,

main rules).

WHERE THE HELL IS IT?!

Follow the section of instructions on the searched
location marked “Failed Crew Search”.

Next, complete another action.

I CAN’T FIND IT. MAYBE IT’S IN… ARGHHHH!

If the crew players cannot find the alien’s location card
with SEARCH actions, do the following:

1 The alien lifeform player gets to follow the

instructions on their chosen location card marked
“Lifeform remains hidden” – these are rewards for
outwitting the crewmembers.

2 If the two hostility tokens placed on the shuttlecraft

location at the start of this section match the alien’s
chosen location card, they get to keep the hostility
tokens as an additional reward.

3 Proceed to the Showdown Stage (page 32, main rules).
