About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a space explorer addicted to Among the Stars, get ready to welcome the Wiss to your galaxy! This mini-expansion is exactly what you need to shake up your-space-travel-routine and add a fresh layer of-alien-diplomacy to your sessions.

What's inside the box? It's a lean-and-mean-expansion package. You get a unique Wiss race tile,- reactor cards (featuring six different colors to keep things spicy), and ambassador cards to spice up your-strategic-moves. It's designed to plug right into the base game without adding unnecessary bloat.

Mechanically, it's seamless. You aren't learning a whole new-game-system; you're just adding new tools to your-existing-toolkit. It introduces new-asymmetric elements through the Wiss race-powers, making each playthrough feel slightly different. It's perfect for those moments when your group says, 'Hey, we love this game, but we need something new to master.' It's fast, it's punchy, and it keeps the-game-flow-smooth. Just a heads-up: since this was a BGG store promo, it's a bit of a collector's gem, so grab it if you can find it!
