Lunar Rush: Gen Con 2022 Preview

Description provided by David Niecikowski, PhD on YouTube:

Lunar Rush is a simultaneous-play Euro-style board game that combines multiple mechanics into a refreshing new genre. You play as one of Earth’s four major conglomerates, competing to mine the Moon for the newly-discovered lunethyst crystals and lunarium ore. Companies bid to transport resources to and from the Moon via the most efficient route possible; build and upgrade their Moon bases to mine and refine lunethyst and lunarium; sell the finished product on Earth to maximize profits. Every turn, players use their VPs to bid for the best space routes to and from the Moon. The slower the route, the more you can take on the ship. Then on the Moon, players simultaneously upgrade their bases and place workers to produce the resources they need to ship back to Earth's bustling luxury markets. Finally, they sell all their Moon goods on Earth to profit! The game ends after a fixed number of turns, and the winner is the player with the most VP (from selling goods and building the best Moon base and wonders)! The race to win the new gold rush is on! #lunarrush #deadalivegames #workerplacement #economicsgame #spacegames #spacegame #gencon2022 #julieniecikowski lunar rush dead alive games worker placement economics game gen con 2022 gencon julie niecikowski board card bidding space
