ISS Vanguard

This game is exclusively available for borrowing through BIBLION, Ion Game Design's board game library in Stockholm, Sweden.

ISS Vanguard is a 1-4 player co-operative campaign Board Game. It will bring players right into epic Sci-Fi adventure, as they will play as 4 sections (security, recon, science, engineering) onboard the first human ship with the potential to reach outer space. The campaign will introduce the unique story written by Krzysztof Piskorski (Tainted Grail) full of hard player choices, twists and branching storylines. The game comes with over 100 different Crew members, each with unique characteristics.

Gameplay is divided into 2 main stages: Ship phase and landing on planets.

During the Ship phase, players will manage their ship (binder with printed sleeves), where every section will have to make gameplay decisions. Then, you will prepare your crew for landing on the next planet, in search of answers to humanity's biggest questions. Together you will pick lander and customize it with modules, then each section will choose a crew member to take on a mission (more experienced crew members will have better ranks), build a skills deck, take equipment and choose dice for each character.

During all phases of the games players will be directed to the Log-book, consisting story encounters, often written in the form of action-packed dialogues between the characters.
