Space Crusade - The Boards and Art

Space Crusade is an adventure board game produced by Milton Bradley together with Games Workshop and was first made in 1990. It was produced in the UK and available throughout Europe and New Zealand. . The German version of the game was published under the name StarQuest to tie-in with Hero-Quest, which, at that time, was very popular amongst German children. The German translation tones down most of the violent game elements: The aliens are "chaos robots", not living creatures. A player does not kill a robot, the robot is merely removed from this dimension or gets caught by the effects of the weapons and is not harmed at all. Although for example the "Assault Cannon" can quite easily be recognized as a type of machine gun, in the German version it is called "Zero Time Gun" and its effect is explained as "time bubbles" slowing down the enemy.

Being a sister game to HeroQuest, which was also produced by Milton Bradley and Games Workshop, It uses many of the concepts of both that and Games Workshop's Space Hulk and Warhammer 40,000 games, but at a much simpler level of game play.
The game was designed by Steven Baker. The original box artwork was by Jim Burns, and the later edition had a cover by David Sque
