ISS Vanguard is a co-operative campaign Game. It brings players into epic Sci-Fi adventure, as they play as 4 sections (security, recon, science, engineering) onboard the first human ship with the potential to reach outer space. The campaign introduces a unique story full of hard player choices, twists and branching storylines. The game comes with over 100 different Crew members, each with unique characteristics.
A game session takes you through a Ship Management phase - in which you choose your destination for your ship then research technologies, produce equipment, recruit crewmembers and resolve situations - and then a Planetary Exploration phase. During Planetary Exploration, players complete a daring landing procedure with your Lander, explore the planet for information or resources, fighting back a barrage of threats as well as a running timer of supplies depletion before you have to run back to the Lander to lift off back to ISS Vanguard. What follows is the remainder of the Ship Management phase, when players unload discoveries and resources from the Lander, heal or memorialize crewmembers, take apart the game board and record changes to the planet you've just explored, preserving its status for future games.
