Lockdown

The Captain is Dead: Lockdown can be played either as a stand-alone adventure, or, if you are up to the task, play the original The Captain is Dead and continue your experience with veteran cards in The Captain is Dead: Lockdown.

Dangerous Planet

After escaping the alien prison in Episode 2, the crew were assigned a new captain and a new mission: locate artifacts on a dangerous planet within the alien empire. 

The Problem With Priggles

Nobody knows what Priggles are or where they came from. What is known is that they don’t like the aliens. Or maybe it’s the aliens that don’t like them? Either way, who cares? The important thing is that they can be used against the aliens, and that makes them really handy.
