Mission ISS

Players cooperate as mission controllers to assemble and run a multinational space station from its first module onward. On each turn, two command cards — one from the active player and one from a teammate — combine to order astronauts, then both cards go to the active player’s discard pile, creating interdependent turn options and a shared resource cycle that advances the game toward its end. Astronauts on adjustable bases perform actions to move, install new modules, and conduct research; players recruit and train crew to improve those abilities while coordinating schedules and tasks to meet the station’s objectives.
