The Captain Is Dead: Lockdown (2017)

About this game

Lockdown is a new standalone episode in the ongoing saga that started with The Captain Is Dead. This time, our intrepid crew find themselves prisoners on their own ship. Hostile aliens have taken control, and the crew must work together and remain hidden while attempting to regain control of the ship. You don't need The Captain Is Dead base game to play Lockdown, which is a 1-7 player co-op game. Lockdown first appeared as "Episode 3" of the game when released by The Game Crafter, while Alderac Entertainment Group will release this expansion as "Episode 2".

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 7. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.8/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
