Each ship comes on a double‑sided tile, giving two distinct options per piece: Luna 3 & Surveyor 1 on one side and Sputnik 2 & Freedom 7 on the other. The vessels have their own unique requirements—such as specific resources or cards—and award different victory points than the original projects. The core gameplay stays the same: players engage in open drafting of project cards, build collections, and try to meet each ship's conditions to score. Because the expansion only introduces tiles and a handful of requirement cards, the learning curve is tiny; just shuffle the new tiles into the project deck and play by the standard rules. Playtime remains around 20‑40 minutes, making it perfect for quick sessions or as a tasty add‑on to an ongoing game. It’s a solid choice for fans of space exploration who want extra strategic variety without extra complexity. ## FAQ ### How many players can play? 2 to 4 players, just like the base game. ### What is the typical play time?
