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 possibility to reach outer space.
Campaign will introduce the unique story written by Krzysztof Piskorski (Tainted Grail) full of hard player choices, twists and branching storylines.

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 ), deck-build skills deck, take equipment and choose dices for his character.
The game will come with over 100 different Crew members, each with unique characteristics.

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

Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 8.5 out of 10

    Rated after 4 games - will revisit to gut check this later. Adventure part is fun and the wife and I love chucking and manipulating dice.

  2. 10 out of 10

    After 4 game sessions, my wife and I find the game ferouciously addictive. The smart design makes it easy for players to digest the game mechanics, the art is amazing, the plot is intriguing enough to captivate, and the freedom to explore the galaxy and its planets and to manage the ship and its crew is very satisfying. Chara design and light elements of background allow player's mind to imagine their own unique version of their story and social dynamics. We have fun just imagining what kind of catchphrase they all have or what kind of attitude they all have in the mess room. Unlike previous AR games like Tainted Grail or Etherfields, or other heavy campaign games like Gloomhaven, there does not seem to have (as of this typing) any kind of "stodgy phase" you have to go through to proceed or just survive, both ship management and planet exploration are fun, and even farming is enjoyable since a different away team can find different stuff on a same planet.
