High Frontier 4 [Module 6] - Careers Add-on

How to play

High Frontier 4 All: Module 6 Careers adds deep new gameplay mechanics, introducing personal career progression, advanced exploration, and new victory conditions. This expansion brings your individual presence into the High Frontier universe through two explorer tokens that track your position in space and your growing career status.

With new exploration hexes, players can now fully survey and explore Sites across the solar system, revealing features such as regolith fields, volcanic activity, and sub-oceans. Each feature has its own difficulty level, requiring players to reach certain career status levels (C, B, A) and equip specialized surveyors to successfully prospect them. For example, exploring sub-oceans will require submersible equipment, adding new layers of strategy, planning, and risk management.

Unlike the base game, Module 6 features a new career-based victory condition, where your status advancement determines the winner. The game ends one round after any player reaches the highest status (A), replacing the original victory point system from the Core game.
