Hello all! We have only 48 hours of our campaign! We are running out of Stretch Goals that's why we want to release two more goals.
#1 Energy turret
It is new module for our spaceship fleet. It is similar to laser cannon module. The biggest difference is that energy turret drain 1 energy point from other spaceship and recover 1 energy point. It doesn't cost energy to use turret, but you can use it only at the beginning of your turn and you cannot move after energy shot. You don't receive experience or frag bonus after successful shot.
#2 Ceres
Many of you asked us about Ceres. It was an interesting coincidence, because we were testing Ceres during our relaunch preparation. It was our stretch goal for a rainy day. We are on a right track way to unlock all stretch goals, the time has come to add Ceres to the gameplay. Its special tiles are similar to Comet. You can drop any module there. Below you can take a look, how it will be set up.
At the end please don't forget about our BGG stretch goals. Only one remain to unlock. Became a fan and unlock Stable Flight maneuver card!
Thank you for your support.
Kind Regards

Hello all! The most important news is that we unlocked Venus board expansion! Also, since the last update, we unlocked other 4 campaign goals.
#1 Stretch Goals
Solo pack was unlocked. Currently inside core box we will have 4 solo opponents. During next couple of weeks we will test the possibility to play against more than one solo opponents. After first plays it looks very promissing.
Yesterday we unlocked Venus boards expansion and today the baloon module. This set is the second largest goal for this campaign - the Venus expansion! Below you can see how the game will look like after set up.
#2 Spaceship Add-ons
Many of you asked a question regarding spaceships add-ons. Are they needed or not? The answer is the game is fully playable without them, but they are increasing strategic potential of the gameplay.
Conqueror has an ability to drop modules on special tile occupied by other player and to take control over that tile. It means that if you have only core box version, the special tile occupied by you is safe and unable for other players. With Conqueror you have to defend all tiles occupied by you.
Recover has ability to fix itself and other spaceships. It uses energy to increase resistance. In other words it is medic. Recover increases the potential of your fleet to work in formation of Spaceships.
Super maneuver has increased maneuverability. It has almost always successful module drop and obstacle avoid movements. It is also one of the fastest space ships and is ideal for quick and individual actions.
Below you can find image with all Spaceship cards. You can compare their attributes.
We are on a good way to unlock all stretch goals. That's why now we are preparing a surprise for last 48 hours of our campaign.

Hello all! It wasn't easy decision. We got revised quotations, we checked our budget many times , we talked with people from the board game industry. Finally we have it. We will prepare for you 6 language versions of Exploration!
#1 - New language versions
Ok, but how it will work? Let me explain. You don't have to do anything right now. After campaign we will send you a survey and we will ask you to choose your language version. Currently we don't have rulebooks in other languages, but don't be afraid. We will have for this at least 2 months after campaign, before we will start mass production.
This is all for today. I realize that you will have more questions. Please write your questions in comments, we will answer. And one more thing, remember to become a fan and subscriber on BGG.
Kind Regards

Hello all! It's been some time since the last update and many thing happened in the meantime. We are in the middle of the campaign. It was great 5 days! Since the last update, we unlocked 8 campaign goals.
Unfortunately, still we don't have an answer for question about language versions. I apologise for that. We do not want to make hollow promises, but we promised that you will get a new information about it. Currently we are working to remove all limitations and just send you printed game version in your native language. It is not easy that's why we need some more time.
#1 Stretch goals
We unlocked 4 strech goals: updated space map, metor shower, space debris and space station . Next stretch goal is new base card for solo game - Mars! More about solo rules you can read here
#2 Collectors miniature
We already reached maximum size of our collector's miniature - 180mm! Some of you wrote in comments that you will paint this miniature. This is great idea! We would love to see your job and we are very excited!
#3 Social media achievements -> BGG achievements
We are so close to unlock next BGG achievements! We unlocked 2 secondary missions card (strictly connected with Jupiter's Moons) as well as Io Capture card, which is very important during flight on Jupiter's orbt.
At the end I have to mention about your great ideas for game improvement like, Ceres, Japanese spaceport (faction), Indian faction. Feel free to share with us more of your ideas how you will improve Exploraition. I'm very excited, to hear it from you!
Thank you for supporting us!
Kind regards
