Written by the author of the sell-out Dwarf King's Hold series, the game features an innovative dice-driven combat mechanism and a scenario-based narrative, allowing you to recreate the mission. The game includes twenty highly detailed plastic Corporation and 8th Race miniatures, stunning new artwork depicting the starship and action counters, and the Grim Cargo rule book, featuring a host of fast-paced and easy-to-learn rules that will lead to some incredibly tense games. Project Pandora: Grim Cargo immerses you in the Warpath sci-fi futuristic universe, as one player controls the evil human Corporation and the other one the alien 8th Race on a modular tile board, moving miniatures and rolling dice to achieve some scenario-driven objectives before your opponent, or to eliminate every foe.
