Vantage: Spoiler‑Free Unboxing & First Impressions

🎲 Vantage – Unboxing & Overview
Opening Vantage feels like stepping into an expansive, unexplored world. The box is weighty and overflowing with content, and from the moment you lift the lid you’re greeted with a treasure trove of beautifully illustrated cards, custom dice, and tactile tokens. I was genuinely impressed by the quality of every component — sturdy, vibrant, and clearly crafted with care.

🌍 Game Overview
Designer: Jamey Stegmaier
Artists: Valentina Filić, Sören Meding, Emilien Rotival
Publisher: Stonemaier Games
Players: 1–6 (community suggests best at 2–3)
Playtime: 120–180 minutes
Recommended Age: 14+ (community suggests 8+ with guidance)
BGG Weight: ~2.3 (medium‑light strategy)
In Vantage, players explore a vast open world of nearly 800 interconnected locations. Each player experiences the game from a first‑person perspective, revealing only the cards tied to their own journey. Unlike campaign or legacy games, Vantage is non‑linear and self‑contained — every session is a fresh adventure with no permanent changes.

📦 What’s in the Box
415 large double‑sided location cards
916 standard cards
1 spoiler pack of cards
8 storybooks
1 Book of Vantages
1 game board
20 challenge dice & 12 skill dice

🎮 Why It Stands Out
Vantage combines the immersion of an open‑world video game with the tactile joy of a premium board game. The sheer volume of content is staggering, but what really shines is the component quality — thick cards, vibrant artwork, and durable pieces that elevate the experience. With spoiler‑free exploration, branching paths, and hundreds of cards to discover, replayability is practically endless.

✨ Final Note
This unboxing is completely spoiler‑free: no hidden story elements revealed, just the thrill of opening a box filled with premium components and the promise of countless adventures ahead.
