Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon (EN)

A permanent base is being built in the Shackleton crater at the Moon's South Pole. You're leading one of the space agencies that are working together to expand their presence on the base, while at the same time the three major corporations sponsoring the mission are each pursuing their own agenda. In Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon, you will build structures on the base, while also funding projects from the corporations that provide special abilities and scoring opportunities.

Shackleton Base is based on several key concepts:

• Worker Placement: Use your Engineers, Scientists and Technicians in the various areas of the board to achieve your objectives. You’ll be in constant tension with the other players, who will be looking to grab the best – and, of course, limited – slots!
• Modularity: Thanks to the 7 Corporations in the box, there are a total of 35 different combinations of Corporations! This gives each game its own unique flavor. Naturally, the game provides a starting configuration for your first game. Thereafter, you can choose the combination of Corporations or leave it to chance.
• Sandbox: Shackleton Base is designed as a sandbox. You’re free to choose which direction to take, and the possibilities are endless. Build structures, fund projects, improve your reputation, get involved with Corporations…

Solo players can play against an Automa, entirely designed by authors Fabio Lopiano and Nestore Mangone.
