MOON (2019)

About this game

MOON is a quick game where you'll learn how a real computer works. To win the game, you must help the astronauts fulfill their mission by solving all the goal cards. Each goal cards shows a combinations of bits. To solve the goal card, you must store that combination of bits in register A of the CPU. In each round, you can perform as many operations as you wish depending on the energy units available. There may also be hardware failures that will force you to repair them or look for alternative solutions. In addition to the solitary or collaborative mode, MOON provides 4 RAM modules to play in competitive mode. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
