*New Starting Experience*
The previous prototype introduced most rules over a single Planetary Exploration and a single Ship Phase. The campaign introduction now uses two special pre-stacked tutorial decks and spans across three planets and two ship phases:

• *The first Planet introduces basic movement and rolls.*
• The first ship phase introduces only several core Ship Book pages.
• The second Planet introduces Supplies, Leads and real injuries.
• The second Ship Phase introduces the remaining Ship Book pages.
• The third Planet introduces Threats and dangerous landings.

"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."

The thing I hated most about that video was . “I am going to end this video here”. Thank you for all the hard work to bring this to us. I wouldn’t mind if you did all 5 tutorials.

[and]

Yes! - I was reloading YouTube all the time waiting for this.

[boardgamedungeon]

Best coverage of prototype 2, hands down. Thank you! This is my most awaited game to date.

[shiwaz]

Yay, been looking forward to this! Thanks!

[khewit]

So excited for this, please do all 5 tutorials!

[MarquisDeSang]

I don’t know yet if a repetitive and abstract Euro Puzzle can entertain me long enough to see this wonderful story.

[jacobbuitenkant]

Thank you! This is already very helpful. Great considerarion to cut this section for people who dodn't want to be spoiled. Of course, I like to be spoiled, so can't wait for the play-through video;-)

[helenshepherd]

Intrigued. Looking forward to your playthrough. I do like how it seems to have that intro learn as you go style like jotl

[stevevanvoorhis]

Thanks for the new setup video!! I really like the changes made to the beginning to ease you into the game. Can’t wait for this one to come out and play.

[matthewfigg]

Thanks for making this! Excited to see more

[benoittourangeau]

Thanks Adam, after eating my sandwich and before going back to work, I had time for either watching your video or cleaning the kitchen, but not both. I will let you guess what I did! 😉

Great video, like always! I can not wait to learn more about this game. I am dying to get my own copy.

One thing I would like you to have in mind. The pledge manager is currently open and I wonder if I should buy some of optional the items AR are proposing. Any comments you can make in your future videos will be useful. You already made a useful arguments about the section boxes. That is the type of info I am looking for to make better informed purchase decisions.

Thanks a ton!

Ben

[KyawThurein]

Thanks for the appetiser! I would be looking forward to having the main course. 😀

[LenLindsay]

Excellent! (as all your videos are) - and YES ... more please! I want to see how the game actually plays (and by the time it arrives I will have forgotten anything that is spoiler like - heck, I will have forgotten most of the details by next week!)

[Draud]

Pop corn ready, Let's do it!!! Quack!!!!

[brycelomonaco]

My anticipation for this game has now jumped into FTL.

[piotrjasik]

Amazing video!, would love to see as many tutorials as you can put out :D

[yagsipcc]

Oh wow brilliant just saw this now when on my phone. Going to check the videos out later :) in work atm and am very excited to see how it all is. Give us a hint though, is it fun?:P I know it can be a bit fiddley at first with so much stuff in the game.

[Riggswolfe]

I'm so happy to see this! I have to ask though, what happened to your tuck boxes? Did AR take the old prototype back or something?

[JohnnyMcNabb]

So excited for this game. It’s like waiting for Xmas morning but not knowing what month or day Xmas will be on.
One of the few games I have ever went all-in.
Question.. planning to play this solo. I know you must control 2 characters, how hard do you think it would be to control 3 or 4 characters instead ?
