Twin Stars: Adventure Series I

*Two cosmic adventurers are in a tricky scenario and must work together. By rolling and manipulating dice for special abilities and combos, you can be the one that guides them to victory.*

**Twin Stars: Adventure Series I** is a Button Shy wallet game released in 2017 as a compilation of previous Twin Stars adventures. The game takes place in the Pocket Universe, a science fiction setting shared by several other titles.

Button Shy Games released over 3000 copies of tiny Twin Stars sets (a full game is 1 scenario & 2 characters) via Kickstarter stretch goals and Patreon monthly rewards. Some were sent out in huge numbers (Rule The World) and some were in very limited numbers (Stop The Virus).

In 2017, these were gathered together and packaged up with extra cards to make Twin Stars: Adventure Series I. This group of 6 scenarios and 12 characters makes for 396 unique combinations and tons of solo replayability. Syzygy rules for a campaign mode style of play are also available.

A sequel, Twin Stars: Adventure Series II, was released in 2019. A postcard series, Twin Stars: Moonset, is slated for release in 2022.

## Scenarios

Scenarios included in Twin Stars: Adventure Series I include:

* **Hunt the Bounty** - Catch a fugitive you have finally cornered in a star system.

## Expansions

Three Droid Assistant cards were offered during the original Kickstarter project as stretch goals, each being unlocked one at a time.

After the Kickstarter, the droids are available to buy for an additional $2.

### Series I Droid Assistants

Droids generally help you along the way but with a potential downside if they malfunction! They add an interesting "third character" to any Twin Stars scenario, giving you something else to think about and manage.

The series I droids are:

* C.R.A.N.K.
* MC-CY (Mickey)
* Domino 2-5

#### Notes:

The droid assistant cards are "half-sized" cards, measuring at: 2.5" x 1.75" or 63mm x 44mm.

MC-CY first appeared in That Snow Moon

### Syzygy Mode - by Mike Mullins

Syzygy Mode is a campaign that allows you to play multiple scenarios one after another, in a nice and interconnected way.

Series I Syzygy mode was not mentioned on the main Kickstarter campaign page for Twin Stars, but was announced as a "give away" as a "thank you" for reaching 700 backers in Update #2.

The PnP version of Syzygy Mode can be downloaded for free from pnparcade.com
