## FAQ

### How many players can enjoy this expansion?
This expansion is for 2 to 4 players, just like the base game of ISS Vanguard.

The complexity doesn't increase drastically, but it adds more options and an element of risk that requires attention. Language dependency is moderate, as you'll need translated cards.

Perhaps with reservations. While the dice add randomness, they also offer more control and tactical options, but the risk element is undeniable.
