SPI's Voyage of the BSM Pandora (enhanced)

An SPI solitaire game, originally published in Ares Magazine #6. This game is a prequel to "The Wreck of the B.S.M. Pandora".

The player controls the Biological Survey Mission Pandora as it travels the space ways in search of alien life forms. He uses the crew, robots and equipment of the ship to collect exotic specimens with a minimum of losses --and hopefully get back intact. The game has two time scales, the tour months that affect the "strategic" play, going from planet to planet, and the expedition hours, the tactical on-planet play. It uses an event paragraph system to generate the narrative flow, and the map shows several planet surface samples (studio sets?), to be used as needed.

This TTS mod includes everything needed to play, including complete rules and updated assets courtesy of the Boardgamegeek community... noteworthily, someone reformatted the event paragraphs from the original rulebook in a readable font.

Campaign rules published in Ares magazine allow you to continue the adventure in "Wreck of the B.S.M. Pandora", and those are included here.
