Spaceship Unity: Season 1.2 is an expansion for Spaceship Unity: Season 1.1 released in 2023 for 2–4 players, 60–120 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Jens Merkl and Ulrich Blum and its main mechanics are Variable Set-up, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Storytelling.
From the deepest regions of space, the recruits of the Interplanetary Alliance (IPA) from Season 1.1 return for brand new adventures in Spaceship Unity - Season 1.2! This wild and immersive cooperative adventure game turns your surroundings into a fully functional spaceship—which the players must crew. When Season 1.1 ended Episode 5 on the brink of galactic conflict, it seemed that the IPA’s peacemaking efforts might fail. Multiple factions gear up for war and the threat of nanobots continues to spread. As members of the IPA, the crew of the Unity must work together to try and defend the Intergalactic Peace. Spaceship Unity - Season 1.2 is an expansion and the second part of an epic sci-fi story—the narrative continues immediately after the end of Season 1.1. Just as before, Spaceship Unity is about diving in and having fun as a group, experiencing the story together through frenzied real-time Action Chapters and difficult Challenge Chapters. Players must successfully operate their ship using the everyday objects around them, which are transformed into the systems to control it. Across six new episodes, players face fresh challenges as they rush towards the grand finale. They will experience even more exciting Action and Challenge Chapters, as well as a brand-new Combat Chapters that are played in real time. Advanced weapon systems are introduced, but enemies have also gained new weaponry and won’t hesitate to use them. —description from the publisher
