Stonemaier Games announced Vantage, a new cooperative adventure game, which will release in Q3 2025.

This game, designed by Jamey Stegmaier, is an open world, non-campaign game that features an entire planet to explore.  Players start out as crew members of an intergalactic vessel, in each game, that is headed to an uncharted planet.  Unfortunately, this vessel is destined to crash land on the planet, and the crew gets separated from one another.  The players are then tasked with communicating their discoveries at their current locations to each other and attaining a mission victory, destiny victory, or an epic victory.

The game features almost 800 interconnected locations on cards and over 900 cards that are "discoverable" via gameplay.  It is for one to six players and plays in 120 to 180 minutes.
