MISSION:I.S.S. pits player against each other in an effort to win the space race of the 21st century. Acting as the USA, Russia, ESA, or NASDA (Japanese space agency) each player must fund and launch 5 modules to connect to the International Space Station. This is not so easy when you realize that other players can exert political influence requiring you to launch modules for them, and can even be involved in delaying or destroying missions as they happen.Featuring 3d modeled graphics, and easy to learn rules, MISSION:I.S.S. raises awareness of the space program and some of the real (and not so real) difficulties faced in space exploration and funding. - BoardGameGeek
