Lunar Rush - The Ultimate Space Mining Competition

Lunar Rush, designed by Steven "Skippy" Brown and developed by Dead Alive Games, is a dynamic Euro-style board game that blends time-based resource management, market economics, bidding, and tableau/engine-building into an exciting new genre. Players take on the roles of major corporate conglomerates from Earth, competing to mine the Moon for valuable “wonder materials” like lunethyst crystals and lunarium ore.

In each turn, use your Giga Credits (GC) to bid for the most advantageous space routes to and from the Moon. Choose slower routes for the ability to load more resources on your ship. On the Moon, players simultaneously upgrade their bases and deploy astronaut workers to produce essential resources and Moon goods, which are then sold in Earth's bustling markets.

The game concludes after seven turns, with the player accumulating the most GC emerging as the winner. Dive into the new gold rush and see if you can lead your corporation to victory in Lunar Rush!
