About the game

Shackleton Base: Below Within Above - Expansion is an expansion for Shackleton Base from Pandasaurus Games, designed by Fabio Lopiano and Nestore Mangone (2026). It plays 1–4 players in 60–120 minutes, for ages 14+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 8.4 out of 10 and call it medium-heavy (3.7 / 5 weight).

Below. Within. Above. expands the world of Shackleton Base by introducing powerful Agency Leaders and milestone-based scoring bonuses that reward players as their lunar operations grow. As corporations compete to develop the Moon’s surface, underground, and orbital infrastructure, players unlock unique leader abilities and one-time scoring bonuses when reaching key victory point thresholds. These additions deepen strategic planning, create exciting momentum swings, and offer more ways to specialize—without adding rules overhead to the core experience.

  • UNLOCK POWERFUL LEADER ABILITIES: Introduces a unique Agency Leader that provides new gameplay options and strategic specialization.
  • MILESTONE SCORING SYSTEM: Gain one-time scoring bonuses by reaching key victory point thresholds, creating momentum shifts and rewarding progress.
  • DEEPER STRATEGY WITHOUT COMPLEXITY: Enhances decision-making and replayability while maintaining the streamlined gameplay of the core game.
  • COMPLETE EXPANSION CONTENT: Includes 1 Agency Leader tile, scoring bonus tokens, VP tokens, and rule sheet for seamless integration.
