  • Amazing, epic space adventure that is designed beautifully!
If you are a serious tabletop or board gamer, and you need a break from high fantasy like I did, this is the breath of fresh air you are looking for. ISS Vanguard is beautifully designed (I can't say enough about how much I love the flow of gameplay, especially during the Ship Phase), massive in scale (physically and gameplay-wise), and extremely fun to play. I played through the campaign solo, and cannot wait to play through it with others now. There are some elements that feel best suited for solo play, but other aspects that feel like they would be more enjoyable and interesting in a group. Either way, you can't go wrong. Like many cooperative long-campaign games, it takes some time and reading to get the rules locked in, and it is designed to be very challenging and punishing at times, but very rewarding as you progress. 100% recommend! ... show more

  • My new #1 game (out of 1,000+ I have owned)
This game is truly outstanding and immersive. The artwork and components add to the quality of the branching story line. There is an app with terrific voice actors and sound effects that bring the narrations to life. The way you can build your crew, how they are used, and the choices you make each mission make this an experience you’ll never forget. I’ve played the entire campaign solo, four characters. I have the Kickstarter edition, Personnel files, and Pets; I highly recommend them if you can get them. ... show more
