Below. Within. Above. is the first expansion for Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon, and it introduces new strategic rewards, powerful Agency Leaders, and meaningful mid-game momentum shifts that change how you approach every decision.
If you’ve already established your foothold on the lunar surface, it’s time to go deeper.
A New Layer of Lunar Competition
In Below. Within. Above., your progress on the VP track now unlocks powerful Scoring Bonus tokens.
When you reach 10 VP, you immediately gain a valuable boost.
When you reach 25 VP, you claim a one-time bonus token that can dramatically reshape your strategy.
These tokens allow you to:
- Reduce the cost and energy requirements of Projects
- Perform additional Corporation actions
- Build more efficiently
- Double crater activation rewards
Timing matters more than ever. Push too slowly, and your opponents may claim the bonuses first. Push too aggressively, and you may overextend.
Every game now has new pivot points.
New Agency Leaders, New Strategic Paths
This expansion also introduces new Agency Leaders, each with a unique special ability that can be upgraded once you build your Headquarters.
That means:
- Stronger specialization
- Sharper identity between players
- More replayability
- More strategic variety across sessions
If you enjoy optimizing action efficiency and building long-term engines, this expansion gives you even more to explore.
