Tabletopia Sub Terra + Expansions

Tabletopia Sub Terra + Expansions includes the cooperative cave-escape game Sub Terra and three expansions: Investigation, Extraction and Annihilation. One to six players take the roles of amateur cavers trying to escape an unexplored network of underground tunnels before their lights go out or the horrors below catch them. A game takes 45–90 minutes.

Explore the cave

On your turn, you explore and reveal nearby tunnels, trying to survive hazards such as floods, cave-ins, gas leaks and scree. Each player has a role with specialist abilities: the Engineer can use dynamite to blast a new route, while the Scout can find a route more easily. Cave tiles come from a randomized stack of features, which may reveal a dead end or offer new routes.

At the end of each turn, a hazard card determines what damages the players or cuts off their escape. The hazard cards are finite; when they run out, the torches flicker, the air tightens and the chances of survival quickly diminish.

Return to the cave

Each expansion takes place after the events of Sub Terra, with a different mission:

• Annihilation: Go back into the cave to destroy it. Push deeper to reach structural weak points, plant powerful bombs and return to the exit before they detonate. The Exterminator can prevent horrors from spawning and is immune to gas, helping keep escape routes open.
• Extraction: Return to the cave as a new, faster and deadlier threat hunts you. The fast-moving Leaper appears as a new hazard card, and the Mercenary combines cautious exploration with strong defensive abilities. Carry proof of the infestation back to the surface.
• Investigation: Return with help from a mysterious corporation to find the cavers who did not make it out. The expansion adds 15 item cards that give cavers powerful abilities. You can recover items from the cave floor or choose the Agent, who starts fully equipped.
