DESCRIPTION
Install humanity on the moon!
In a very close future, humanity sets up a base in the center of Shackleton's crater, at the southern pole of the moon. The players run space agencies working together to extend the human presence on the moon. The mission is sponsored by 3 major corporations, each pursuing its own goals.
Large principles and solo fashion
Shackleton Base is based on several main principles:
Placement of workers: Use your engineers, scientists and technicians in the different areas of the plateau to achieve your objectives. You will be constantly in tension with the other players, who will seek to monopolize the best locations, of course limited!
Modularity: thanks to the presence of 7 corporations in the box, there are a total of 35 combinations of different corporations! Which will give each part its unique character. Of course, the game offers you a starting configuration adapted to your first part. Thereafter, you can choose the association of corporations or let chance decide for you.
Sandbox: Shackleton Base is thought of as a sandbox. You are free to choose which direction to take, and the possibilities are multiple. Construction of domes, financing of projects, improvement of your reputation, involvement in corporations ...
Solo players will be able to compete against an automa, entirely designed by the authors Fabio Lopiano and Nestore Mangone.
How to play?
A part of Shackleton Base lasts 3 sleeves, during which the players will go through different phases:
Choice of the space agency: Before you start the first round, you can choose your agency. Each has a different capacity.
Draft of shuttles: During this draft, you will choose your shuttle tile from those offered. Each shuttle indicates the types of astronauts and the resources you will receive for this round.
Phase of action: In turn, deploy one of your astronauts on the moon to recover resources, build structures or finance projects.
Maintenance: astronauts deployed on the crater populate the bases of players according to majority criteria (which has the most domes in each line of the crater). Then the players collect their income and pay their maintenance costs.
Depending on the corporations present in the game, special skills can be activated during the different stages of the game. The space agency with the most victory points at the end of the game will be declared a winner!
