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.

This game almost delivers everything it sets out to be. BUT, my friends and I felt that the game tries to surprise you with each exploration, but these surprises are often unfair and don't match the step of deciding whether or not to "probe" the planet before descending. The story leaves many plot lines unresolved and does not have a satisfactory conclusion. We all wished that the ship fase was something where each section leader could control a part of the ship, because the way the ship phase is usually alienates half of the party.

Fantastic, my favorite part of it is the Personal File Expansion. This extended narrative even has a literary quality to it. The different approaches and strokes used to bring so many characters to life are admirable!

I play it in my group nowadays quite often and it's such a nice story mode. We really enjoy this game. I would recommend it for sure if you don't mind to play a game for 3+h depends on your discussion time^^
