SSO: The Rage of Montalbano is live
SSO: The Rage of Montalbano, the latest expansion to the 1-6 player sci-fi survival horror game SSO, is live on Kickstarter. The campaign will run for 29 days and you can also get the base game, the other expansions, a playmat and - if you're quick - a knitted doll of one of the new crew members.
SSO tells the story of the S.S. Omega, a spaceship of which the crew is mysteriously missing. As a rescue team you will try to complete the mission of this spaceship, while finding out what disaster happened. The game is always played with 6 crew members, and when playing solo it feels more like handling six actions per turn than playing multihanded. You play through a challenge deck of cards, and hope to survive whatever killed the original crew.
The base game suffered somewhat from a hard-to-read rulebook and difficult to handle components. SSO: The Rage of Montalbano fixes these problems with a rewritten rulebook and deluxe replacement components. It also has a new challenge deck, bringing a new story like the other expansions, and comes in a box big enough to hold all content released so far (sleeved).
The game will ship from the UK after the Brexit dust has settled down. Shipping rates are unknown and may not be EU-friendly.
Thanks for mentioning us, we're pretty excited by how the campaign is going so far. Rage of Montalbano has a strong Wrath of Khan feel to it, but along with the Temporal Anomaly deck that's in the Kickstarter that makes 5 challenge decks available now, so they're covering a lot of sci-fi survival/horror at this point.
I bought in, it kind of reminds me of that horror movie Event Horizon.
