description Stargrave Overview

Stargrave is a science fiction miniatures game developed by Joseph A. McCullough and published by Osprey Games in 2021. It serves as a thematic and mechanical successor to the fantasy game Frostgrave, translating its campaign-driven exploration mechanics into a futuristic setting. Players assemble small crews of mercenaries who navigate ruined space stations and alien planets, fighting rivals to secure loot and upgrade their hidden base.

Like its predecessor, the game is designed to be compatible with any existing science fiction miniatures.

A captain begins with 400 credits and can recruit up to eight soldiers, with no more than four of them being specialists. The captain and first mate are separate from those eight soldiers and form the crew's leadership core.

What do crews actually do during a Stargrave mission?

Crews move through the table, fight rival crews and automated or alien threats, and compete to collect loot. The campaign then turns mission results into experience, injuries, new abilities, and changes to the crew roster.

Do I need official Stargrave miniatures to play?

No, Stargrave is designed around crews and profiles rather than a single mandatory miniature range. You can build a captain, first mate, and soldiers from compatible science-fiction miniatures as long as the models are clear to both players.
