Description
Five factions are trapped on the space station Theseus. Only one can survive…
Theseus: The Dark Orbit throws you right into the heart of a conflict between five distinct factions. The station is contested by heavily armed Marines, cunning little Aliens, Scientists with their computers and advanced tech, the "Greys" – a race capable of mind control, and the mysterious "Fifth Race" that everyone is dying for.
During the game, you move your pawns around the space station and activate individual rooms. The effects of these rooms can be changed using special cards, so there is always something new waiting for you. Throughout the game, you place traps, smart weapons, secret passages, and much more. Every game of Theseus looks different from the last, and every one is deadly in its own way.
The game includes team rules, allowing you to engage in thrilling two-on-two battles. The factions are perfectly balanced, ensuring engaging and tense encounters every time.
The game is in English.

A brilliant tactical gem from the master of replayability, Michał Oracz.
Four base factions (plus a fifth as a bonus), three difficulty levels, an unconventional (innovative?) movement system, a unique game board, team play options, and tons of variety.
The game is set on an abandoned space station. Choose between Marines, Aliens, Scientists, or Reticulians. The Marine vs. Alien matchup perfectly captures that classic Alien vibe. The Reticulians look like they walked straight out of The X-Files.
Design and production are up to the classic Portal Games standard. As of September 2016, the game has two additional expansions.
Skvěla taktická záležitost od mistra znovuhratelnosti Michała Oracza.
Čtyři základní frakce (a páta jako bonusek), tři úrovně obtížnosti, netradiční (inovativní?) způsob pohybu po herní ploše, netradiční herní plocha, možnost týmové hry, spousta variability.
Tématicky se hra odehráva na opuštěné vesmírné stanici. Hráči si můžou vybrat mezi mariňáky, vetřelci, vědci a retikulíny. Při hře mariňáci vs. vetřelci se dostaví ten správný vetřelcovský feeling. Retikulíni jsou jak vystřižení z Akt X.
Design i provedení na klasické portálovské úrovní. Hra má další dvě (stav k září 2016) rozšíření.
