1998 ISS (engl.)

Description

1998 ISS ist ein Kennerspiel. Das Spiel thematisiert den Beginn der Internationalen Raumstation im Jahr 1998. Spieler wählen in Runden Aktionen wie Astronautentraining, Materialtransport und Modulfertigung, um die Raumstation zu erweitern und Experimente durchzuführen. Strategisches Ressourcenmanagement und Aktionsplanung stehen im Fokus.

In 1998, the US module Unity joined the Russian module Zarya at an altitude of 400 km, marking the beginning of the International Space Station. 1998 ISS is played in rounds where players choose between four Earth actions: training astronauts to send new crew members to the Space Station; loading materials that will be used to conduct experiments; preparing modules—players who contribute more to sending new modules receive extra actions; and planning experiments to acquire new experiment cards. On the ISS, players can take four different actions: moving materials outside the station to use them for experiments; performing experiments, which are the primary source of victory points; extending the astronauts’ stay on the ISS to earn points for research on the effects of microgravity on humans; and installing new modules that provide bonus points and enable further experiments. In essence, actions taken on Earth prepare players to carry out ISS actions that generate victory points. The game ends when either five American or five Russian rockets have been launched, and the player with the most victory points wins.
