Defend the interests of your Space Power. Enlist the support of influential politicians, powerful military leaders, and renowned scientists. Overcome crises and reach your strategic goals.

The glorious history of space exploration unfolds over the 7 separate Modules. You add them to the game in any combination, using up to 3 Modules at a time. Each Module perfectly fits the others and creates new gaming experiences.

The Solo Mode is also included and supports both the core game and the Age of Ambition Modules. Each Module has a special variant with an increased challenge!

Space Explorers: Age of Ambition expansion features seven independent Modules that add new layers of depths to the glorious history of space exploration found in the game. All Modules perfectly combine with each other. With the core game, you can use up to 3 Modules at a time, chosen randomly or at the players' discretion. The Game Rules and Space Explorer’s Manual contain captivating historical references. Age of Ambition brilliantly follows the style of the Space Race era, with over 30 new artworks depicting key events of the space exploration.
