Lunar Rush: Innovations Review — Does the Expansion Improve the Game?

Description provided by Board Games with Rob on YouTube:

The race to profit from the Moon is evolving! In this review and overview, I revisit Lunar Rush using the recently released version of the Innovations expansion. Does it improve the base-game experience—or complicate a system that already worked? You’ll need to watch to find out. Published by Dead Alive Games and designed by Steven “Skippy” Brown, Lunar Rush is a simultaneous-play economic Eurogame about corporations mining the Moon for valuable lunethyst crystals and lunarium ore. Players bid for shipping routes, develop lunar bases, deploy astronauts, refine resources, and manipulate changing Earth markets. Innovations expands the competition with asymmetric corporations, additional strategic options, dynamic events, and support for a fifth player. The base game features artwork by Viktor Kolodiazhnyi and Alex Pei.
