Lunar Base (2021)

About this game

A bold new era of space exploration has begun. With many different factions and organizations vying for power in this latest space race, you are tasked with leading one of these competing moon colonization teams. Lunar Base is a card game where you draft and play cards to expand your base. Make shipments from Earth work to your advantage. Recruit agents and send them to infiltrate opponents' bases to hasten your expansion, or hinder the progress of your competitors. Defeat your rivals and achieve lunar dominance by housing the most colonists, gaining the most influence, hoarding the most lunar credits, or earning the most renown through scientific achievements.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 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.
