Embark on a Journey Beyond the Stars!

Step aboard ISS Vanguard, a thrilling co-operative campaign board game designed for 1 to 4 players, where epic sci-fi adventures await! Take on the roles of four specialized sections—Security, Recon, Science, and Engineering—onboard humanity’s first vessel capable of reaching the farthest reaches of outer space.

This immersive campaign features a captivating narrative crafted by Krzysztof Piskorski, renowned for his work on Tainted Grail. Prepare for ambiguous choices, unexpected twists, and branching storylines that continuously evolve based on your decisions.

With over 100 unique Crew members, each possessing distinct characteristics, every playthrough promises a fresh experience. Your mission spans two critical phases:

Ship Management Phase:
Harness your strategic skills as you dive into a detailed management system, using an expansive binder filled with printed sleeves. Choose your ship’s destination, research cutting-edge technologies, produce crucial equipment, and recruit new crewmembers. Confront a variety of challenges and situations before transitioning to the next thrilling phase.

Planetary Exploration Phase:
Prepare for heart-pounding excitement as you conduct daring landing procedures with your Lander. Scour the planet for vital information and resources while navigating threats and time-sensitive supply challenges. Make it back to the Lander before it’s too late!

Following your exploration, dive back into the Ship Management phase. Unload your discoveries, heal or memorialize crewmembers, and document vital changes to the planet in your game board. Each detail recorded will influence your future encounters when you return.

Throughout ISS Vanguard, your resource management skills will be put to the test as you chase the enigmatic mystery encoded in humanity’s DNA. The tactical Planetary Exploration phase allows for exciting decisions regarding card selections, dice rolls, crew combinations, and essential equipment. Customize your specialized Landers for dangerous descents into uncharted atmospheres, choosing the right gear to ensure survival.

The narrative system elegantly weaves together structured and linked Mission Logs, featuring journal entries and dialogue snippets that shape your gameplay choices and story progression. Experience a universe filled with possibility as you strive to uncover its secrets!

Why wait? Gather your crew and set out on the ultimate adventure with ISS Vanguard!
