ISS Vanguard: Close Encounters Playmats using us as pawns andThe 'Close Encounters' turns 32+ cardboard standees and tokens from the base game of ISS Vanguard into an plastic miniature on the table. Every encounter from ships, mission equipment (i. e. outpost) to aliens will come visible in 3D. They increase the immersive aspect of the game and are purely of aesthetic nature. They do not in any way influence the mechanics of the game nor it expands them.
