How Exploration Works
Shipload is played on a shared grid. A single board every player moves pieces across in real time. This tour covers the map you'll be exploring, the ship you'll fly, and what it costs to move between tiles.
The Map
A giant grid of tiles. Planets, asteroids, and nebulae each sit on their own tile and produce different resources.
Ships
Your pieces on the board. Every ship has a mass and an energy capacity. Those two numbers decide how far and how fast it can fly.
Flight
Moving a ship costs real time and energy. Heavier ships fly slower. Lower energy means shorter trips.
