Moon Colony Bloodbath

Description

Get ready to blast off into the lunar unknown with Moon Colony Bloodbath, a thrilling board game where humanity's greatest achievement turns into a desperate fight for survival. In this game, designed by Donald X. Vaccarino and released in 2025, 1 to 5 players take on the role of moon colony leaders, tasked with managing resources, building facilities, and keeping their colonists alive. The game is easy to learn, but don't let that fool you - the rules may be simple, but the experience is complex and unpredictable, with playtime ranging from 45 to 90 minutes. As you navigate the challenges of building a lunar colony, you'll draw cards from a shared deck that can bring either prosperity or disaster. Each turn, you'll take an action - mining for money, farming for food, researching new technologies, building facilities, or restocking supplies. But beware, because trouble is always lurking, and the deck is full of events that can sabotage your efforts, from hunger and glitches to accidents and power failures. You'll need to think strategically and make tough decisions to keep your colonists safe and your colony thriving. The game features a unique blend of deck, bag, and pool building, delayed purchase, events, simultaneous action selection, and variable phase order, making each game a unique experience. The game ends when one player's colony is wiped out, or when the event deck runs out of cards. The player with the most surviving colonists wins, but be warned - in Moon Colony Bloodbath, victory is never guaranteed. With its unique blend of science fiction and card game mechanics, this game is perfect for fans of engine-building and tableau games. So, are you ready to take on the challenge of establishing a human settlement on the moon, or will your colony become the latest casualty of the lunar frontier? Dive into the world of Moon Colony Bloodbath and find out.
