Overview
Vantage is a cooperative game from the excellent author Jamey Stegmaier, also owner of the publishing house Stonemaier Games (Scythe, Tapestry, …). It’s a game in which you play as survivors of a crash on an alien planet, forced to explore a vast open world to survive. Each game is unique, with no campaign or permanent progression, with over 1 cards allowing free exploration of hundreds of locations. Inspired by video games like Breath of the Wild or Elden Ring, it combines storytelling, resource management and strategic choices with permanent consequences. Playable solo or with up to 700 players, Vantage offers great immersion, great replayability and an atmosphere of continuous discovery in a richly illustrated science fiction universe.

Remarks
I discovered this game through Jamey's posts in his anti-Trump quest. He was very honest and professional in his posts, and you can tell he worked hard to outsmart the pricing so this major project could come to fruition at a reasonable price. I wanted to encourage him in this quest. And if I add his 8 years of work on this game and the 1 cards available with these magnificent illustrations, it was an automatic purchase!
