Expedition: Northwest Passage – HMS Terror Edition
In 1845, Sir John Franklin led an expedition on behalf of the British Royal Navy to find and explore the last part of the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic. The Royal Navy provided Franklin with two ships (HMS Terror and HMS Erebus) filled with scientific equipment, 1,000 books, a crew of 128 men, and enough food to last three years. They left England in May and encountered whalers along the west coast of Greenland in August before awaiting more favorable weather conditions for the crossing of Lancaster Sound. Then, when the time came, they sailed into unknown waters, and no one ever heard from either ship again...
Their disappearance caused much public unrest and numerous British and American expeditions attempted to find their trace.
As leaders of these expeditions in the game Expedition: Northwest Passage, players must venture into these dangerous arctic waters in order to discover Franklin's fate and succeed where he failed: by finding the Northwest Passage . Players assign their crew members to their ship or sleigh to perform various actions such as exploring, moving, or collecting clues to the location of the Franklin Expedition.
As the game progresses, the seasons will pass and parts of the sea will freeze over, blocking the passage of ships.
Players gain victory points by gathering clues, mapping the area, and – of course – discovering the Northwest Passage. But to win, you have to return to Greenland on time!

1. Meeple Stars can be earned on retail merchandise purchased through both our webstore and café shop.
2. Most of our prices include VAT at 20%. Meeple Stars are not earned on the VAT
portion of the price. For example, if you buy a game for £50, you’ll earn Meeple Stars on the net amount of £41.67 (the remaining £8.33 goes to HMRC), which would give you 125 Meeple Stars.
3. Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.
4. Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.
5. Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.
