Campaign will introduce the unique story written by Krzysztof Piskorski (Tainted Grail) full of hard player choices, twists and branching storylines. If you’d have preferred Gloomhaven to have been set in the Star trek universe, ISS Vanguard is for you… Ensure that you scrolled all the way to the bottom of the log that you are reading. While the narrated voice creates a nice immersion, don’t forget to then read any other instruction and scroll all the way down. Sometimes you may miss a sentence and everything will start to not make sense. That’s when I start using the log to retrace my steps and verify what I missed, while using the app for the narration and the flag editor. But being careful, everything works (the app is automatically updated with the errata). Wave 2 includes 2 more expansions of the game set after the main campaign, so you don’t lose any game content without it. Roughly 6 months after each wave, the game is also released in other languages different than English (Polish, French, German, Italian, Spanish).

ISS Vanguard is a massive game. There are many planets to explore, some require even multiple visits. The beginning of the campaign will keep you on the edge of your chair, but there are some things that we need to discuss.Four section-themed alternative P.E.T models that you may use to replace a generic P.E.T design used in the base game. Please note: this expansion does not increase the amount of P.E.T robots you can have on the Planet Board at the same time. Fighting is mostly a rare occurrence, so if you are trying to replicate Mass Effect on a board-game, looking forward to hunt down rogue aliens, then this is not your game. Wave 1 contains the entire first campaign of the game, intended as a stand-alone experience, but you should save the logs/flags you have set when completing the campaign as they will be referred in the future campaigns. The first important point is how many players are going to play the game with you. While it is recommended to have all 4 sections represented in the exploration phase (and they are mandatory in the Ship Book phase), you can decide to land with only 2 characters. That way you could play solo with 2 characters or you can have 4 players each with their own section or any other combination in between.

In terms of storyline, without giving away any plot spoilers, you’ll find yourself in pretty standard sci-fi territory here. Each play session feels like a Star Trek episode, while the overarching plot is more like an Alastair Reynolds hard sci-fi book. The two mesh together nicely enough, and there’s a nice air of mystery and discovery throughout. High-quality laser-cut wooden dice tower to help you with all those important rolls during planetary exploration! The game can be played in sessions, a full cycle Ship Book – Planetary Exploration is advertised roughly at 90 minutes, but in our experience is much longer than that, so much that sometimes we focus only on the Ship Book part in a small 60 minutes session, and then move to a 2-3 hours session for the planet exploration. But the time really depends from how many players are there, and how many characters are used in total. More on this later on.It's always an excellent service with brilliant products at a very competitive price - will use again! ISS Vanguard is a 1-4 players cooperative board game that features space exploration and discoveries in the uncharted side of the universe to find out the origin of the human specie. The #1 Reddit source for news, information, and discussion about modern board games and board game culture. The app provides a fully-voiced narrative with music and special effects. It also automatically remembers your choices, fully replacing the paper Logbook! We strongly recommend it for the best story experience.
