ISS Vanguard Prototype 2.0 - Tutorial Ship Phase with @Quackalope

Exclusive Patreon Videos Every Monday!

ISS Vanguard 2.0 is here :) With changes to the ship phase, the slow introduction of the various aspects of your ship, the reduction of the dice rolling and yet maintaining the same aspects that made it fun to begin with. Join Quackalope & myself as we go through the guided tutorial ship phase together.

Just a note on the starting point that Jesse mentioned. I think this was covered in one of the GF updates, but you're actually starting the game from an earlier point compared to the previous prototype.
The original porotype started from when the Vanguard had already left the Eye of the Void, and was searching for other worlds touched by the builders.
They have actually given us more content by using this sector as a good training/intro area for the tutorial, instead of just having the cinematic intro to tell this part of the story, which I think was a good move!

It’s like watching an episode of mother and son. Guess which is which. Loving it

[Vascariz]

Enjoying the playthroughs but really looking for an analysis of whether the change are for the better and if there are others changes they recommend

[Dre]

it looks so overwhelming lol ... hope I end up liking it, since i backed it

Looks like sleeved cards are going to make the ship phase harder, the cards seemed to barely fit without sleeves.

"I thought it was a c, " the old way of spelling qu was actually cw. It is how it would be spelled as sounded in english but when english was being transcibed it was primarily french scribes. Because of this when they heard the cw sound they knew it as qu, or how it's spelled in french. In other words, you were right, just a long time ago.

Thanks for the great video - looking forward to more. Would you be awesome and check to see if a sleeved 44x67mm (Mini Euro size) card fits in the ship binder 2.0 prototype when you next look at it? Thanks! I really want to draw the project's attention to it if not...

When is this going to become QuackandCo?

I notice the research lab insert has a typo "leave all rolled the dice on the table" if you want to pass it on to them for their next print run. :)

Also a minor note once you complete a research, it is removed from game (not put back in the research page slot). (From reading the insert, maybe tutorial guided differently.)

My problem with the ship phase is it looks insanely fiddly. Sorting through pages, grabbing cards, reslotting cards, going to the log book. Just being told a bunch of things. Very little game here. More interactive experience.

Where is the next playthrough (the first "unguided planet")? I couldn't find it over at Quackalope's channel :(

Hi Alex, today I got an update on gamefound AR is looking to speed up and simplify the ship phase making it more "rewarding" . Any opinion if and how it should be improved? For me ship phase as I see it from your and other videos is exactely what I would like to do! Do you feel it is too much? too long, too difficult?

[RiHa_Games]

Changing the lighting scheme, nice. Do you also use it for setting the mood for games?

[jonathana]

I really wish they found a way to keep thd disls as part of the binder. It made it custom/special, instesd of just a binder.

[tgeorgom]

About the dials I liked them as a part of the logbook since this way you close the shiplogbook and you save the game in that instance. If it is in a different place then setting might get lost. On that though how easily is for the values in the dials to accidentally change?

[JoostN]

Love your glasses. Can I ask what brand they are?

[jgonz]

OK, channels like this got me to shift away from video games and into board games, where I am now at a 50-50 balance. This specific channel laid out ISS Vanguard in a way that showed me I should back the "all in", based on the pros and cons analysis. Similarly, thanks to BoardGameCo, I am taking the "all in" approach with The Witcher.

Great video! Do you think it could work to just ignore the tutorial for the ship phase and do whatever you'd like?

[Ketling]

Will there be a video about Coalitions by Phalnx?

[Qaaxxx]

Possible to make a playlist so that I can watch these in the correct order?
